Inspiration

  1. Mother and child stood in Shropshire Flower Field
    This summer bring the family to Shropshire Petal Fields outside Newport, to explore acres and acres of British grown flowers. A myriad of bright pink, blue, purple, yellow and white flowers, that will delight adults and children alike. From delphiniums, to cornflowers, sunflowers to wildflowers immerse yourself in the beauty nature has to offer. That’s not all! Let the little ones explore nature in our Forest of Fun, buy your own freshly cut flower bouquet and whet your appetite with a mixture of tasty food onsite. Bring your family for a picnic and make memories that will last a lifetime.
