Stop and Smell the Roses in These Picture-Perfect Flower Farms and Vineyards

The healing power of flowers is no secret. They can drastically boost your mood, calm you down, reduce stress, and even treat certain infections and skin conditions.

But if you’re into them purely for the #aesthetic—no judgment, that’s completely okay, too! You can’t deny the inherent appeal of twirling around a verdant garden in a long, flowy dress, especially when the colorful blooms serendipitously match your thoughtfully put-together outfit.

Not into florals? We’ve peppered this list with a couple of vineyards up north as well for a less “feminine” alternative. Go for a quick drive to Tagaytay, or head all the way to Benguet for your dose of greens; just remember to take nothing but pictures and kill nothing but time.

Sirao Garden, Cebu

A top-of-mind destination in the Queen City, the magic of Sirao has been immortalized in many ethereal Instagram posts. Here, rows upon rows of enchanting fiery Celosias thrive, flanked by picket fences, bicycles, and a Dutch windmill that earned the attraction its nickname “Little Amsterdam.”

Buwakan ni Alejandra, Cebu

Though smaller and less popular than the tourist magnet Sirao, Buwakan ni Alejandra still deserves a spot on your list of places to visit in Cebu. Resembling a multi-colored maze from a bird’s eye view, the quaint garden is run by a family of flower lovers who tend to the blooms with utmost care every day.
