The Flowers Fields at The Patch MK
Spread across over 50 acres of family farm, The Patch MK’s flower fields are truly spectacular. With over 30 varieties of sunflowers and 50 million wildflowers, this is no ordinary pick-your-own—it’s a vibrant sea of colour and life, perfect for crafting your own stunning bouquet to take home.
Throughout the fields, you’ll find unique, handcrafted photo spots made in collaboration with local artisans—from a giant blacksmith-forged heart to a vintage tractor nestled in the wheat. New for this summer is a giant photo frame big enough for the whole family, perfect for capturing your special moments.
