Yellow House Flower Farm est. 2016

YHFF began through a shared love of daffodils in 2016. It is now a full service wedding and event florist, together with micro flower farm.

Located in Hexham, a small rural town in Western Victoria, YHFF utilises its small scale to produce bee-friendly, chemical free, fragrant blooms tended by owners Ash and Lachie.

The farm is located within a sheep enterprise (compost heaven!) and operates via a closed loop system, supporting the Australian slow flowers movement that farmerflorist Ash is so passionate about.

Ash sows the seeds, tends to seedlings and carefully watches the stems bloom, while Lachie coordinates the maintenance of the farm. Together, they aim to run an environmentally friendly micro flower farm.

Although only a quarter acre, the farm provides the Warrnambool and district community with seasonal bunches and this will continue to develop as the farm continues to grow. You can never have enough flowers.

As the farm is located on a private farming enterprise, the farm is open by appointment only.

 

 

Meet the girl behind the flowers: Ash

I love growing and sourcing beautiful local flowers - its what gets me out of bed each morning! I am a true farmer florist. I love fragrant David Austin roses, cheery Billy Buttons and dreamy hydrangeas. I am inspired by Annabelle Hickson, Edna Walling and Debra Prinzing.

I am passionate about the slow flowers movement and designing with flowers only grown within Victoria. As head designer at YHFF, I want to reduce the number of kilometres flowers travel and support other flower farmers. We do this by designing with flowers grown locally.

I am often found with a pair of secateurs in one hand while trying to fit a roadside bush into the back of my ute. I love watching the seasons change within the farm and wider world around me, and look forward to continuing to grow, design and share beautiful and unique floral pieces.
