Dahlia Pluktuin op de Grenshof is a self-picking flower garden situated on Boerderij de Grenshof (Grenshof Farm) in Groesbeek, a Dutch village recognized for its rolling hills and vineyards. Owned and operated by Jenny Albers and her husband Bob, the garden invites visitors to enjoy the natural surroundings and pick their own bouquets. Jenny, who has lived at the farm since 2017, developed her passion for gardening there and is enthusiastic about sharing the beauty of her dahlia garden.
Visitors can self-pick a variety of flowers. The primary offering is dahlias, which typically bloom from July through October. Additionally, the garden offers other flowers, pampas grass, and sunflowers for picking. Pricing for 2025 included dahlias at €0.80 per flower, large dahlias at €1.00, other flowers at €0.40, pampas grass at €1.00, and sunflowers at €1.00. Tips for picking include selecting dahlias that are almost fully open, varying colors and sizes, and checking the back of the bloom for freshness, as buds generally do not open once picked in a vase.
The garden has plans for expansion and beautification, with ideas for a larger and more beautiful space conceived in autumn 2023. While the dahlia season typically runs from July to October, the garden is currently closed, having concluded a successful 2025 season. It is expected to reopen around mid-July 2026. The current contact information for the farm is Lagewald 12a, 6561 KV Groesbeek, with a phone number 06-12389756 and email [email protected]. Visitors can also find the garden on Instagram and Facebook, and are invited to leave Google reviews. The farm also features a photo gallery and a drone movie showcasing its blooms.
