Marja’s Bloemenpluktuin offers visitors a vibrant oasis of color and fragrance, where they can enjoy a unique self-picking experience. Guests are invited to pick their own bouquets of flowers, including edible varieties for cooking, as well as a selection of herbs perfect for tea or culinary use. Soft fruits can also be picked directly from the trees during the season.
Beyond self-picking, the garden provides tips on vegetable gardening and growing soft fruit. Guided tours, led by owners Nico and Marja, delve into the diversity of garden and wild herbs and flowers, offering an educational and immersive experience. These tours are available from April to mid-September by appointment, accommodating groups of up to 10 people at a cost of 12 euros per person, with options to extend with bicycle rental and lunch arrangements.
A garden stall offers seasonal vegetables, homemade honey, and various teas cultivated on-site, along with sun-dried herbs processed in Nico’s custom-designed solar dryer. The farm is an ideal destination for nature lovers seeking relaxation.
Visitors are advised to check the website for current opening times, as these are seasonal and weather-dependent. The flower picking garden typically operates from mid-June to August. Payment can be made conveniently by cash, QR code, or ‘Tikkie’. For those arriving by bike, a self-service repair kit is available at the stall. Marja’s Bloemenpluktuin is located in Spierdijk.
