The estate is situated in ideal protea and fynbos growing conditions on mountain slopes in the Thornhill region of the Eastern Cape near the city of Port Elizabeth. Longmore Flower Estates is a black economic empowerment company that had a unique and inspiring beginning.

Today Longmore supplies cut flowers, bouquets, plants and seeds to markets in South Africa and Europe. Longmore has also launched satellite flower skills training programmes aimed at empowering previously disadvantaged farmers. The Longmore team is also behind a proposed Eastern Cape flower trail.

Our vision:
"To be the world's most innovative, high quality flower producer, by developing new products into the global marketplace and respecting and preserving our environment while developing our community."
