Meet the Growers

We are Bayley and Chris, a couple who love the outdoors and want to create our dream lifestyle. With backgrounds in creative industries, heritage and conservation and a love of gardening we wanted to channel this into our “work”. 

For Bayley, flowers became a source of healing and purpose after a life-changing injury. Now, we share the joy and grounding that nature brings through every bloom we grow.

  • 01/ Environmental Impact

    We do everything with as minimal an impact on the environment as possible; no sprays, peat, and flower bouquets that aren’t wrapped in plastic.

  • 02/ Quality Local Flowers

    Our flowers are picked fresh and conditioned for extended vase life, showcasing our commitment to quality floral arrangements.

  • 03/ Cyclical Growing

    We grow according to the Maramataka (the Māori lunar calendar) aligning our practices with the moon and seasons, working with the cues of nature.

  • 04/ Community Minded

    Supporting local businesses and small growers strengthens our economy and enhances community well-being, ensuring resources benefit everyone.

our flower farm

Sitting on the edge of the Puketi Forest, Lodore Gardens is more than just a flower farm – it’s a haven where nature’s beauty and local heritage intertwine. The melodic calls of kiwi, weka, and ruru are a constant reminder of the rich biodiversity that surrounds us.

We are proud to bring Kerikeri a truly local option for fresh blooms. One day, we hope to share the magic of Lodore Gardens with visitors, inviting you to wander through our fields and experience our flower farm as part of its wider environment.

  • Gorgeous bouquets with long-lasting blooms in such an amazing range of colours! I bought two midi-bouquets and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to gift flowers or brighten up their space. Service was also great, with friendly, personal communication.
