At Marja’s Bloemenpluktuin in Spierdijk you pick your own flowers, herbs and soft fruit. The season runs from mid-June to August for the flower field, and from April to mid-September for guided tours. The farm is open on specific days only; in late August, for example, it opens on the 22nd and 23rd from 11.00 to 14.00. Check the website for the current schedule before you visit.
You create your own bouquet from the flower field or pick edible flowers, herbs for tea and cooking, and soft fruit straight from the trees. The farm also sells seasonal vegetables, home-grown honey and dried herbs from its roadside stall. Payment is by cash, QR code or Tikkie.
Guided tours are available for groups of up to ten people. A tour costs €12 per person and includes information on the garden’s flowers, herbs and plants. You can extend the visit with a bike rental and lunch through a local partner. Book in advance by phone or email.
The farm provides basic bike repair tools if you arrive by bicycle. There is no café, but you can buy tea made from the garden’s own herbs at the stall.
What visitors say
Visitors come for the flowers, especially to pick their own bouquets under the large walnut tree. The garden is peaceful, with plenty of shade and a warm welcome from Marja and Nico, who enthusiastically share their knowledge about the plants. Most say the experience feels personal—groups often arrange private sessions for wild picking or making garden ornaments, and the hosts adapt to what you want. The tea, made from garden herbs, is good value, though some find the selection limited. A few mention the picking can be a bit labour-intensive, but the chance to take home a hand-picked bunch makes up for it. Children aren’t mentioned, so it’s unclear how well it suits them. Prices are reasonable, though not dirt-cheap.
