Sanfu Flower Garden Farm is a flower farm in Zhongshan Village, Dongshan Township, Yilan County, established in 1989 on about 14 hectares of land, known for its hydrangeas and clematis, near Renshan Botanical Garden and Xinliao Waterfall.
Sanfu Flower Garden Farm (now branded Purple Forest, or Sanfu Leisure Farm) was founded in 1989 by Hsu Wen-liang and covers about 14 hectares in Zhongshan Village, Dongshan Township — one of the longer-established leisure farms in the area, operated year-round without pesticides or chemical fertilizer.
Highlights of Sanfu Flower Garden Farm
Dajin Village in Dongshan Township sits in a low hilly area with a mild, rainy climate — ideal conditions for cool-moisture-loving plants such as hydrangeas and clematis. Sanfu Farm specialises in growing both temperate and tropical ornamental plants. Glass greenhouses protect specialist varieties, while the outdoor flower beds change appearance with the seasons as different plants come into bloom. The farm is small to mid-sized and focuses primarily on floral display and hands-on farm experiences.
Hydrangeas typically peak from late spring to early summer (roughly May to July), which is the farm's busiest season. Clematis, depending on the variety, blooms from spring through autumn in a wide range of colours. The farm offers some farm experience activities, with content and fees adjusted by season. Contact the farm before visiting to confirm current blooming conditions and available activities — arriving to find nothing in flower is disappointing.
