If you – like me and most other Londoners – could do with inhaling some actual fresh air for the first time in months; we’ve got you covered. Nestled away in the depths of the Kent countryside is Little Budds Peony Farm. This picture-perfect peony paradise boasts a breathtaking display of over 6,000 peonies for just a few weeks each year. And guess what, folks? The time has come.
Open days at Little Budds Peony Farm
Peonies are pretty notorious for playing hard to get. Only in season for two or three weeks a year, these beautiful blooms usually come out to play at the end of May and beginning of June. And Little Budds Peony Farm is only open for a few more days this year as their doors will close on June 15. So, if you fancy frolicking through rows and rows of peonies this year; you’re going to have to act fast.
Visitors can expect to see over 50 different varieties of peonies, ranging in size, shape, scent and colour. From the classic blush pink to dark red, coral and even yellow; the farm is a little slice of colourful flower heaven. Although visitors are unable to pick their own peonies, there are plenty of pre-picked bunches for you to buy. Little Budds is completely free to visit, but booking is essential.
