seasonally inspired flowers
Central Otago Grown
Treasured garden blooms
The Joy Farmer is a seasonally inspired flower farm and creative studio sharing treasured garden blooms with local florists & flower lovers from Wanaka, New Zealand.
I offer flowers that celebrate nature over perfection and seasonality over prescription, an approach that is deeply connected to the rhythms and beauty of Central Otago.
Creative Studio
Floral offerings
Farm fresh blooms can be ordered for collection from Wanaka in season, between September and March. Outside of these months contact me for options.
“thank you so much for supplying the most incredible flowers we could ever have dreamed of - everyone commented ”

Grown under open skies
with mountain views,
from snow fed water
in sun licked soils,
this is where my flowers bloom
My flowers are grown the old fashioned way by hand in open air following the rhythms of nature and its seasons, it can be harsh, dirty, and labour intensive work but the outcome is beautiful.
Ethos
The beauty of nature
My ethos is simple - local and seasonal.
Flowers often remind us of moments in life, forever connecting us to the people and places we encountered them.
By thoughtfully growing & curating what beauty nature provides locally each season my hope is by sharing my flowers with you, they will become floral memories that reflect this beautiful region & inspire my community to join the slow flower revolution.
About
The Joy Farmer
Hello, I am Sarah & welcome to my flower inspired world where I grow romantic & characterful garden flowers for my community and share stories of a simpler life spent outdoors.
My flowers are grown at my family's high country station in Tarras, Central Otago found in the south island of New Zealand.
A clashing alpine desert like environment with dramatic views & vast temperature fluctuations. It is an equally wonderful & challenging place to live and grow.
Thanks for following along.
