Miss TuinBoon is a self-picking garden, flower shop, and nursery situated on the edge of the scenic village of Gees in Drenthe. The farm operates with a commitment to local, unsprayed cultivation, growing its produce in harmony with the seasons. A strong emphasis is placed on maintaining healthy soil and fostering biodiversity.
Visitors are invited to experience the joy of the outdoors by picking their own flowers directly from the vibrant fields, crafting unique bouquets.
In addition to the self-picking garden, Miss TuinBoon features a shop offering a variety of freshly harvested flowers, unique perennial plants cultivated in their own organic and unheated nursery, seeds, gardening supplies, and thoughtfully selected gifts. The farm also provides flower subscriptions for both individuals (with options for self-picking or pre-arranged bouquets) and businesses, along with custom floral arrangements for weddings, events, and respectful funeral tributes. For those interested in expanding their gardening skills, a diverse program of workshops is available, covering topics from creating beautiful floral arrangements to establishing personal flower or vegetable gardens.
The farm highlights its sustainable practices, focusing on robust plant growth that benefits local ecosystems. While the shop and nursery observe a temporary winter closure, they typically welcome visitors again from early spring, with the self-picking garden opening during the summer months.
