At Corien Veron Bloem en Atelier Pluktuin in Esbeek, you pick your own seasonal flowers from June to the end of September. The field grows around 50 to 60 varieties, including asters, sunflowers, phlox, cosmos, zinnias, dahlias and ornamental grasses. The flowers are grown organically and without pesticides.
The pluktuin is open daily from 9.00 to 19.00. You can pick your own bouquet or buy one that is already made. Payment is by cash or card. The farm also sells silk flower arrangements and offers workshops in flower arranging, which take place in the converted cowshed of the 19th-century farmhouse.
The farm specialises in custom flower arrangements for weddings, funerals and other occasions, using flowers from the pluktuin where possible. It is wheelchair-accessible, with step-free parking and entrance. Visits are by appointment only.
What visitors say
Visitors consistently describe Corien’s pick-your-own flower farm as a welcoming, creative spot with a beautiful garden. The flowers are plentiful and well-tended, and picking them is straightforward—you can cut your own and arrange them on the spot. Workshops are a highlight, often held in a cosy, rural setting with professional guidance, and many mention the relaxed, inspiring atmosphere. Corien herself is praised for her friendliness, expertise, and natural approach, especially when advising on arrangements for natural burial sites. The location, in a converted farmhouse, adds to the charm, and groups of friends or families seem to enjoy the experience. A few note that the setting is particularly good for letting creativity flow, though there’s no mention of whether it’s ideal for very young children. Prices aren’t discussed in detail, but no one calls it expensive.
