"Fill Ya Bucket" 2024 Event(s)

After the abundance of happy customers the first time round, we will be offering more dates in 2024 for this. Please read all the details below fully!

The option to book for this is available now. Purchasing is based on Variety so the DATE IS THE VARIABLE. As our main function is international exporter of stems, the picking season is a time when we are extremely busy. We do not have as much time as we would like to check emails and reply in a timely manner. Reading all the details below BEFORE any purchase will mean you have all the information necessary to make an informed decision.  

Main details to know for this are:

• WHEN: 
  Dates will be made available for each variety that we are offering for these events. The day will be broken into time slots so that numbers can be controlled. Dates TBC. You can select which time you would like to attend at checkout.
  
  
• WHERE: 
  430 Spring Rd, Prebbleton. Christchurch
  
  
• WEATHER:
  We are a business that is at the mercy of Mother Nature. Should we need to reschedule, you will be given as much notice as possible. NB: We are not offering refunds for these events. Options given to those who can no longer attend due to our rescheduling are:
  1. Gift your spot to a friend.
  2. Collect $50 worth of stems another day. 
  
  
• VARIETY:
  Not all varieties will be open to a "Fill Ya Bucket" event.
  Varieties will be made available to this only after we have stopped picking them for export. To ensure there is enough for all attending, max number of stems = 60.
• WHO: 
  Small groups will be shown into the rows at the beginning of each time slot. It will then be a "one out, one in" situation.
  Upon arrival, you will be shown to a check in station where your name will be added to the list and you can have your turn as numbers allow. Tickets are limited to 30 people per time slot. If you have a booked a space for 1pm but arrive at 12pm, you will not be let in until all the 12 and 12:30pm ticket holders are through.

  Buckets are supplied - only buckets provided are to be used.
  You can bring your own bucket to transport your pick home in, but we will provide the buckets for picking. Option to purchase the bucket for $5 is available on the day. NO BYO BUCKETS.

• REFUNDS: 
  
  • In the event that this event is not available due to weather or you can not make it:
    Mother Nature determines a lot of our season. If weather stops us from being able to offer this, as above, no cash refunds will be given. You will able to use your ticket as a $50 credit to use at our shop instead.
    Prebbleton Peonies reserves the right to make this call and you will be contacted via the email attached to your ticket. 
  • This credit is valid for the 2024 season only.
  
  
  
• SAFETY: 
  You will be given a brief prior to entering the rows: Some main points = No running and under NO circumstances are you to climb over the wires. Anyone seen climbing over will be asked to leave immediately. There are sufficient flowers for everybody. Please stick to your time slots. If you are late or take longer, this will delay other groups. 
  
  
• ACCESSIBILITY:
  Our farm is not wheelchair friendly. That being said we will be looking to open up a session where any limitations to access (wheelchair, disability) will allow for a support person to assist in the picking. This will be a day separate to the main events and allow for safety and focus on those who attend. If you are interested in this, please do let us know via email (hello@prebbletonpeonies.com)
