Sirao Flower Farm

Go to places: SIRAO FLOWER FARM

Did you ever hear about the flower farm in Barangay Sirao, Busay? The mini-Amstermdam garden of Cebu? Well, for all those who are wondering about this place worry no more as I share my experience with you.

Sirao flower farm is another new eye-catching spot in Cebu which garnered a lot of attention lately because of its captivating beauty and garden-fresh flowers. The 5,000 sq. meter flower farm has different kinds of flowers. One of the striking flower in the farm are the Celosia locally known as "tapay"  in colors red, yellow,pink and orange and ranges  from dwarf varieties that only grow four to six inches high to vigorous types over three feet tall. The farm is settled down in a beautiful peak of  Barangay Sirao, Busay, Cebu City which is known as the home of fresh and beautiful flowers. Here you can find the farms of flower that you see being sold down at the Freedom Park in Carbon market in prices tripled from the price at the farm to cover the vendor's transportation, market fees and the middlemen.

im in love with the view

                                                               

                   with your P20.00, you can take a bunch of photos you want around the garden 

not to forget a selfie

 Along the Transcentral Highway, several roadside stalls are set up from Busay to Sirao for people who wanted to get fresh flowers from its source. For a fee of at least P100, they can have their flowers arranged for a basket or a vase.

In demand to the season (all Saints' and all Souls' day) ,I heard they're going to harvest these flowers today. But still we can see these flowers back in their respective season by December and February.

There are two options to be able to reach the place  through commuting. One is through a local motorcycle ride (habal2x) from JY Square Mall in Lahug that will transport you directly to Sirao with a fare of 200 each (back and forth) or you have to ride a 62C public jeepney from Gaisano Country Mall then drop by Julies Bakeshop in Pit-Os Talamban where another set of local motorcycles are in queue for Sirao. It is around a 45-minute ride from the city to the said barangay. 

For those who uses  private vehicle, you can get to Barangay Sirao by driving up to Busay then stretch to Ayala Heights then straight to the farm wherein you can directly see it to your left. ( or you can ask the residents there for an exact location to help you get the place)

I really had a great time with nature's finest gifts.

Lots of love, Simply Gilian ;)
