De Langendam in Waspik is a pick-your-own flower farm with a large cutting garden and a year-round dried-flower shop. From early July to early October, visitors can pick their own fresh flowers from over 150 varieties, including cosmos, zinnias, sunflowers, dahlias, rudbeckia, ageratum and achillea. The flowers are grown without pesticides, and the farm leaves space for biodiversity.
You pick into a bucket provided by the farm, with a little water to keep the stems fresh. Bring your own secateurs or borrow a pair. A full bucket, roughly two bouquets, costs €20; smaller or larger bunches are priced accordingly at the till. Children under 12 can pick in a special section marked with flags, under adult supervision. The farm also sells pre-picked buckets of flowers by order.
The cutting garden is open on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10.00 to 16.00. The dried-flower shop is open the same hours in summer and on Fridays and Saturdays in winter. A small café serves coffee, tea, homemade cakes and ice cream. The farm also offers workshops in flower arranging, dried-flower crafts and ceramics, and hosts group outings.
De Langendam has been a family-run flower farm since the 1980s. It also has a small B&B in a converted barn.
What visitors say
Visitors come to pick their own colourful bouquets from a large, well-kept garden full of seasonal flowers. You walk through wide paths between rows of blooms, snipping what you like into a bucket with the scissors or knife provided. Most say the choice is generous, even late in the season, and the price—based on how full your bucket is—feels fair. A full bucket costs around €18.50; half-full is less. The flowers last well at home, though a few note that some stems wilt quickly.
The farm has a small shop selling dried flowers, ceramics and other gifts, and a terrace where you can sit with coffee, cake or ice cream. Children can join in, and there is a separate mini-garden just for them. The staff are friendly and give clear instructions. Most people leave relaxed and happy, though one visitor found the selection thin at the end of August.
