The Wildeling is a garden dedicated to flowers, fostering a connection with nature and the rhythm of the seasons. Visitors can experience self-picking moments within the garden, where they are invited to wander among the blooms and intuitively create their own bouquets.
The self-picking garden operates seasonally, typically welcoming visitors from May through October, and closes during the autumn and winter months. During November and December, the farm crafts and offers seasonal wreaths for order.
In addition to self-picking, The Wildeling provides a range of floral offerings:
- Hand-tied bouquets, uniquely composed with the seasonal colours, scents, and textures of the moment, available for €27.50.
- DIY flower bundles, which include a curated selection of freshly harvested flowers and branches for individuals to arrange into their own unique creations, priced at €25.
- A monthly flower subscription, ‘Wilde Fluistering,’ allows subscribers to choose between a hand-tied bouquet, a DIY bundle, or a self-picking session each month.
- An exclusive self-picking membership, ‘Wilde Verwondering,’ grants access to the garden for ten self-picking sessions from May to October, often including exclusive hours, along with member discounts on other products.
- An online membership, ‘Wilde Cirkel,’ offers monthly inspiration, stories, and rituals focused on seasonal beauty and connecting with the natural world.
For convenience, ordered bouquets and DIY bundles can be collected at The Wildeling in Lettele on Fridays and Saturdays, or at KoffieDok Deventer on Fridays. Home delivery is also available within the municipality of Deventer for an additional €5 fee.
The primary produce available for self-picking at The Wildeling is flowers.
