Welcome to
Bloom Bach

Hi everyone. My name is Melanie Evans. I’m a married mum of three amazing children. We live and farm near Ohope Beach in the Eastern Bay of Plenty.

A bit about me.

Over the last 14 years I have been lucky enough to be a Special Education Teacher. But change is good for the soul, and I was ready for a new challenge. I had always wanted to grow flowers, so when the opportunity arose to utilise some suitable land, I jumped on our ride on mower and started turning my paddocks into flower beds. No measuring, not much thought initially – just into it!

Time has gone so fast and already we are heading towards Season 4. In season 4 I’m hoping to be bigger and better. We have learnt so much over the first few years, what to grow, what not to grow, how to grow and what locals wants us to grow. This Spring we will have Ranunculus, Tulips, Daffodils, Larkspur, Freesias plus a few extra experimental crops. We now have a “Pick your Own” opportunity for Weddings and special occasions.

Thank you to all those that continue to teach me, help in the garden, and those that support this small business. A little shout out to my bestie Sam and daughter Maddi who although live a long way away are continually supporting me in my ventures in business - couldn’t do it without you both xx

Thank you to my amazing local community who continue to support me and encourage me. I really enjoy seeing you all and catching up at my Sunday markets.
