Bloemen pluktuin Essenhoeve is a flower picking garden located on a working farm at Bosweg 2 in Cadzand, Netherlands. The garden is part of a family-run agricultural business that has been active for generations, where crops such as wheat, flax, and sugar beet are still grown, and horses are kept on the property. Visitors can self-pick a variety of summer flowers that bloom on the Zeeland clay soil, with the picking garden opening from July 2026. Guests are welcome to create their own bouquets using provided materials, with pricing based on the thickness of the bundle’s binding point, starting from €4 for a small bunch and around €10 for a larger one. The garden is open every day from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM during the season. The property also offers a mini camping site, camper pitches, and holiday homes, with camping facilities available from February 1 to December 1 and during the Christmas holiday period.
