She also decided to name the experience after her daughter, Flora. 

Flora Fields also allows visitors to take photos with some of the attraction's props, like a bright pink old-fashioned tractor, and chill out in a rustic tipi, which also has a selection of children's games.

"The team at Webbs has planted 7000 dahlia tubers, now blooming beautifully.

"We are expecting a spectacular display."

The experience comes with the opportunity to 'chill out' in a tipi. (Image: Newsquest) It took the Webbs ground team four months to create Flora Fields, which involved constant pruning and daily care of the flowers.

Craig Leddington, grounds and nursery manager, said: "It is very rewarding and probably looks better than we had hoped, which is really nice."

"I think out of all the events we have done, this is the one I have enjoyed the most," said Sarah Brooks, Head of Brand. 

The experience also provides information on each of the flowers. (Image: Newsquest) "It is just so lovely and aesthetically so beautiful, and from everything, like coming up with branding and seeing it progress.

"Even a couple of weeks ago, we did not think it would come out like this now.

The experience also has a bright pink tractor for visitors to sit on. (Image: Newsquest) "It has suddenly burst into life and is such a lovely event to put on.

"It is a creative process but also a very mindful activity to share with friends, family and children."

Flora Feilds are next to The Riverside Gardens by the garden centre's overflow car park.
