Sam
“I bought my friend along for the first time to the Valentines event, and described it to her a space to shut off your brain and truly reconnect with the environment around you. Tomtit farm feels like a small haven just outside the city.”
Lydia
“My favourite summer activity. I go every single weekend, and it fills me with so much joy. The farm looks different each week with new growth coming in. I love having a pop of colour in the house!"
Kerrianne
“It’s a lovely outing if you need some time outside in nature with similar minded people. You just feel so relaxed and you forget about time as you wonder through the rows.”

Ellie
“The variety was insane! And I didn’t even realise that we could make our own bouquets after, so that was a major plus!”
Shannon
“How friendly and helpful Brittany was. We were picking for our wedding with no experience and she made it easy and fun”
