What started as a handful of dahlias and a love of growing and nurturing things, has somehow turned into thousands of flowers, a roadside shop, weddings, workshops, photography, and a never ending list of ideas that usually sound ridiculous at the time... 

Did someone say Valais sheep?!?!

Welcome to the Feral Flower farm, our little patch of greatness in Koputaroa, just outside Levin in the Horowhenua, New Zealand.

I'm Kristy. Flower grower, floral designer, photographer, creative brain and the person responsible for most (okay, ALL) of those questionable ideas. I'm usually largely responsible for Ant's ever-growing to-do list also. Sorry, Ant!

Speaking of Ant, he's my husband, chief builder, fixer of things, lifter of heavy stuff, occasional unwilling flower model, and the lucky guy who gets roped in to making my wacky ideas happen.

Between us, we've created something we're pretty proud of.

We're not a big commercial flower operation. We're a small hands-on flower farm where things are grown with love, without sprays, and usually accompanied by a random playlist or the occasional musical ballad from us two theatre lovers.

Here, you'll find dahlias, specialty gerberas, peonies, seasonal blooms, and a whole lot of personality. We grow what we can, source locally when we need to, and believe  flowers should be interesting, a little wild, and full of character.

Alongside the farm is The Wildstyler, my world of floral design and photography, where that same creativity carries through to weddings, celebrations, and the moments that matter.

We never really set out to build all of this. We just started growing flowers, followed a few crazy ideas, worked ridiculously hard, and somehow created a whole little world of our own. One that's constantly growing, changing, and occasionally testing Ant's patience (don't worry babe, I'll remember to weed mat the dahlia beds over winter next year... probably).

But, aside from the weeds, there's something we're pretty serious about. Growing beautiful flowers, creating things that mean something, supporting local, and putting a whole lot of ourselves into everything we do.

Because that's really what this place is about. Not perfection, not keeping up appearances, and certainly not trying to look like every other flower farm on Instagram.

Just two people, a whole lot of flowers, some very wacky ideas, and a shared determination to make something wild and free.

Welcome to Feral Flower Farm.
Mildly feral. Wildly floral.
