Pick Your Own Flowers at MERRI FLOWERS

Because of the adverse weather conditions over past few years we always put PYOs on the ‘maybe’ pile for within the scope of our business.

In 2025 we grew SUNFLOWERS & DAHLIA.

In 2026 we plan to offer SUNFLOWERS & SUN LOVING FLOWERS.

Let’s see if our plan works…..

SUN LOVING FLOWER PLOT

Our sun loving flower plot will be right next to our ‘Hanger’ so a very, very short walk from our main entrance.

Our 2026 Plot will consist of

Amaranthus, Cosmos, Dahlia*, Statice, Strawflowers, Sunflowers & Zinnia

WHAT’S currently AVAILABLE?

Amaranthus, Cosmos, Dahlia, Sunflowers, Statice & Strawflowers.

It’s not a big plot, but big enough to cater for at least 6 tickets per event.

We will adjust ticket availability according to stems in flower.

Please bring your our scissors and maybe a bucket to transport them home in if don't live close by or have brunch plans.

Please arrive by 10am to make the most of your allocated 1 hour PYO experience.

Come RAIN or SHINE our Picking Events will go on.

In the event of ‘adverse’ weather conditions, Eg a Thunderstorm, we may have to cancel this event, but we will decide the evening before the event.

Please Note that our PYOs are not suitable for under 5s.
