This green city oasis in Utrecht provides various opportunities for hands-on harvesting and enjoying local produce.
Guests can self-pick colorful, unsprayed flowers at the Glitter Gladiool Picking Garden during the summer months. While often structured around harvest shares, the garden also welcomes individual pickers when there is a plentiful supply of blooms.
Additionally, the site features De Gagelgaard Self-Harvest Garden, where members with a harvest share can regularly gather their own fresh vegetables. The seasonal yield from this garden includes chard, arugula, beans, cabbages, carrots, and various herbs. The broader location also encompasses the Voedseltuin Overvecht, a communal food garden where residents contribute to cultivating and harvesting a range of crops.
