OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION

- Bring your own secateurs if you can, we will have secateurs on site as well!
- Children must be accompanied by an adult.
- Follow Millbank Farm on Instagram and Facebook for further updates on the Flower Fest Event!
- All of the flowers are field grown, so readiness and ripeness can vary dependent on the weather. We cannot guarantee complete availability of all flowers.
PROLONGING VASE-LIFE
- When you get home put the flowers in a bucket of cool water somewhere dark and cool for between 12 and 24 hours.
- Before arranging, cut 1 cm or so off the stems.
- Add a little bleach or clear vinegar to the vase water.
- Change the water at least every other day, snipping a little more off the stems.
