A sea of colour is set to bloom into life at a popular garden centre this summer.
More than 200,000 dahlias will flower at Flora Fields in Worcestershire, offering visitors a rare seasonal spectacle at Webbs Garden Centre, Wychbold, with visitors welcome to visit from August 15.

Behind the fields of flowers, is a personal experience for the family who own the garden centre.
Flora Fields inspiration
The spokesperson said: “The Flora Fields concept was inspired by Louise Webb’s memories of picking flowers with her daughter, Flora.
When Flora was little, they would spend time pottering in the garden together, gathering tulips, alliums, peonies, sweet peas, and dahlias to fill their home with seasonal scent and colour – a simple ritual that ultimately became inspiration for the field today.”
