This flower and sculpture garden in Witharen offers a unique blend of nature, art, and relaxation. Visitors can explore a sculpture garden featuring over a hundred diverse artworks by various artists, as well as a vibrant flower garden that displays an array of blooms from spring through autumn, including tulips, dahlias, snowdrops, and grape hyacinths.
A central feature is the self-picking garden, where guests can gather their own bouquets from a rich selection of flowers. The produce available for self-picking includes tulips, dahlias (in various forms and colors), sunflowers, grasses, zinnias, cornflowers, alliums, cosmea, and amaranthus, along with other seasonal flowers from the flower meadow. While a general entrance fee of €7.50 (in 2025) applies to the combined flower and sculpture gardens (with children under 12/14 entering for free), access to the picking garden is free for those who are solely there to pick flowers; the picked bouquets are then paid for separately, typically ranging from €15 to €20 for a generous bunch. Garden visits are free during the winter season.
Beyond the gardens, the location features a boutique, housed in a transformed hay barn, offering vases, candles, plants, and various artisanal gifts. A brasserie, situated in a sheepfold, serves freshly ground coffee, local apple pie and bread, and organic apple juice, as well as lunch options. Guests can also enjoy a pre-ordered picnic basket at a spot of their choosing within the garden. The venue hosts creative workshops, such as Christmas decoration classes, and can accommodate private events like birthdays and meetings. The grounds are largely wheelchair accessible, and dogs on a leash are welcome.
The garden operates daily from 11:00 to 17:00 from spring until autumn, with Tuesdays being a closed day. During the winter months, it is open from Friday to Sunday, also from 11:00 to 17:00. The garden is annually closed between November 24th and December 10th, and again from December 24th to January 1st.
