So what is flowers of Hatch?

First and foremost it is a beautiful place to visit. Secondly we have planted some flowers, cottage garden types mostly, for you to pick if you want. We may or may not be around but there is an honesty box and in these cashless days also BACS details. We don’t want to be prescriptive on price but we suggest £5 for a large handful (all you can get your hands around). Or half of that for half as much etc. If things are getting to the end of the season and the quality is dropping off – pay less…

See the ‘find us‘ page for maps and directions to get to us

See the ‘about us‘ page for tips on picking and to find out about the flowers and how we grow them.

Please remember: it is a field! The ground is rough and uneven in places, dress as you would for a country walk in whatever the prevailing weather. All nanny-ish warnings about heat, UV etc apply

The main season runs from June to September but sometimes is earlier and some flowers (like Clary Sage) go on and on. Check in here for updates. We say 9am until 6pm for opening times but again we are not too fussed. Picking in the dark may be risky

Situation as of 9th June 2026:

Things are just starting after a strange spring, weather-wise. Most plants are looking good although the sweet peas smaller than we’d like. A bit of recent rain will help though…

The scene from April – plants starting to go in, but still a little messy.
