De Plukkerij in Bosschenhoofd is a pick-your-own flower farm run by sisters Anja and Ilse. The season runs from 1 July to 10 October, when the fields are in bloom with annuals such as cosmos, zinnias, snapdragons, sunflowers and marigolds, along with perennials and ornamental grasses. Visitors walk through the rows, cut their own flowers and assemble bouquets. Scissors and buckets of water are provided; you pay by the size of the bunch, from €2 to €10.

The farm is open on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10.00 to 16.00, and on Saturdays from 12.00 to 17.00. Next to the fields is a terrace with views of a small pond, where you can sit with coffee, tea, homemade grape juice or muffins. In the adjacent koffiehuisje—a converted café space—you can buy preserves made from the farm’s own fruit: jams, syrups, chutneys and herb vinegars.

De Plukkerij also offers workshops in flower arranging and seasonal crafts. These can be booked for groups of five to ten people year-round; during the picking season you cut the flowers yourself, and outside the season the farm supplies them. Children’s workshops are available on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.

Anja designs gardens under the name Tak en Tuin; Ilse leads the workshops. The farm is wheelchair-accessible.

What visitors say

Visitors pick their own bouquets in a well-kept garden run by two knowledgeable sisters. The flowers—mostly fresh blooms, with fewer dried varieties—are planted in neat borders, and most people find enough choice to create a colourful bunch. Picking is straightforward: you walk through the garden with a bucket, and the sisters offer guidance if needed. Children enjoy the experience, and there’s often homemade cake or juice available afterwards.

The garden feels cosy and personal, with friendly, hands-on help. A few visitors note it’s smaller than some other pick-your-own farms, and one found the selection repetitive. Prices are reasonable, though not everyone agrees on how long the flowers last once picked. Most leave with a bouquet they’re happy with, and many return for the relaxed atmosphere.
