At Klaver en Papaver in Oosterwolde you pick your own seasonal flowers from July to October. The field covers 500 square metres and grows over 100 varieties, including zinnias, dahlias, ranunculus and sweet peas. The farm also sells ready-made bouquets and flower subscriptions from May to October.

You pick flowers that are in bloom and pay by the bunch: 10 stems for €6, 15 for €9, 20 for €12 or 25 for €15. A self-service station provides scissors, twine and wrapping, and you can pay in cash or by QR code. The farm is not always staffed, but the setup lets you pick and pay on your own. Bring your own bucket for warm days.

The field is currently closed for the season. In the pluktuin season, it is open on Saturdays and Fridays from 06.00 to 22.00. The farm also sells gift vouchers, which can be used for picking or for bouquets from the webshop. Bouquets can be collected or delivered within 20 km. The farm grows all flowers in open ground without artificial fertiliser or pesticides.

What visitors say

Visitors pick their own bouquets in a semi-wild, atmospheric garden. The stems are counted, and payment is made via QR code—simple and efficient. Most describe the flowers as beautiful, with one bride calling her wedding bouquet a dream come true. The staff are friendly and take time to explain the garden, though a few visitors wish they’d had more time to linger over coffee. The setup works well for quick stops, but those with children might want to plan extra time to enjoy the space. Prices are seen as fair, not expensive.
