Seasonal farm flowers grown in Nelson
At Gina's Garden, we celebrate the changing seasons with a large array of farm-grown flowers. All our Spring and Summer annuals are grown from seed that we sow at home. We source our seeds from a range of specialty seed retailers and save some of our own.
In Spring we have daffodils, snapdragons, ranunculus and sweet peas along with many other Spring annuals. In the warmth of Summer our cutting garden is filled with dahlias, zinnias, cosmos, strawflowers and all kinds of celosia.
Gina’s Garden is about experiencing local, seasonal flowers.
Hi, I’m Gina and I’m excited to share my love for growing and picking flowers with you. My dream has always been to create a family friendly, pick your own flower farm and event space here in the beautiful Nelson/ Tasman region. And now it is becoming a reality!
I hope this website inspires you to create your very own flourishing cut flower garden or come and enjoy mine!
My passion for picking flowers started many years ago, and it only grew stronger when I discovered Louise Curley’s book “The cut flower patch”. That’s when I fell in love with growing the cut flowers too (sorry, veggie garden!)
Over the years, my garden has expanded - three times, in fact! - and even spilled over into the neighbours yard. And now, with our recent move to the country, Gina’s Garden has become what I always envisioned.
Gina’s Garden is based on sustainable gardening practices.
We're passionate about sustainable gardening practices that work in harmony with nature, minimizing our impact on the environment.
We prioritize soil health using limited digging practices, planting cover crops, applying compost, and mulching to conserve water.
We've adopted an integrated pest management system, welcoming beneficial insects like ladybugs to our garden. We're proud to say we haven't needed to use herbicides or pesticides yet!
I'm excited to share my love for composting with you! We compost as much as possible, turning food scraps and plant waste into nutrient-rich soil that benefits our garden. We work in harmony with nature, to minimise our impact.
