What visitors say
Visitors pick their own bouquets of organic flowers at this small farm in Wenum Wiesel. The selection varies with the season—some days there are fewer blooms due to heat or drought, but most still manage to put together something colourful. The price is low enough that people return within weeks, even with children in tow. Kids enjoy choosing their own flowers, and the staff are helpful without hovering. A few mention the redcurrants in summer, though the focus is on the flowers. Payment is simple, and the whole process feels relaxed and informal.
