Where To Visit Pick Your Own Peony Farms In Australia -

Find out where to visit pick your own peony farms in Australia this peony season.

Peony season is almost back in Australia, and it is one of our favourite times of the year! These fleeting blooms don’t last long and are restricted to cold climate parts of the country so you really need to head south to see them growing and to experience a pick-your-own farm.

Luckily, with borders reopening that is now possible, and this year you can enjoy farm gate experiences and have the chance to pick some of these precious blooms.

1. Romswood Peony Farm, Macedon Ranges – Victoria

Romswood is a beautiful family run peony farm located in Victoria’s Macedon Ranges just under one hour from Melbourne. The farm is located in the picturesque Kerrie Valley and the gardens at the farm are established and a lovely spot to spend a few hours.

This year the season starts on 13 November. The current advertised pick-your-own days are between 13 – 27 November. The cost is $50 for entry, $20 to visit with no stems and children under 18 are free.

If you are in the region of the Macedon Ranges you can also get lucky and see farms selling blooms on the side of the road, often for $7-10 a bunch.

*ele Secret spots!* Try the corner of Romsey Road and the unassuming Mumfords Road in Hesket from early to mid November for bunches of blooms being sold on the side of the road for $7 – $10. The florist in Woodend will also have locally grown blooms at the same time of the year.
