Kwekerij de Bascule is a sustainable nursery and flower farm located in Hommerts, in the province of Friesland. The farm grows over one hundred different types of cut flowers, along with a wide range of perennials, shrubs, culinary herbs, and berry bushes. All flowers and plants are grown locally without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or growth regulators. The farm emphasizes seasonality, offering blooms that naturally thrive at different times of the year.
Visitors can self-pick flowers directly from the field to create their own bouquets. The pick-your-own garden is open from March 20 through April 25, 2026, and during this period it is open only on Fridays and Saturdays. The spring season features tulips, daffodils, and other early-blooming flowers. Throughout the rest of the growing season, the assortment evolves: summer brings cornflowers, poppies, dill, zinnias, and gladioli, while autumn offers dahlias, sunflowers, anemones, echinacea, and decorative rose hips. In winter, the farm focuses on pre-made arrangements and wreaths using materials like holly, eucalyptus, and pine.
Beyond self-picking, the farm sells pre-made bouquets, wedding flowers, sympathy arrangements, and various plants and shrubs. Berry bushes such as red currant, black currant, gooseberry, and blueberry are also available for purchase as sets.
The farm’s main location is at Jeltewei t.o. nr. 114 in Hommerts, but it also sells from a flower stall at Het Gemaaltje in Idzega. The Google business listing indicates that the farm is wheelchair accessible. While the seasonal pick-your-own garden operates on a limited schedule in spring, the farm’s regular business hours (likely for the flower stall and general sales) are Thursday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and closed on Sunday through Wednesday. The farm has received a rating of 4.4 out of 5 based on 27 reviews.
