Pluktuin Bie Wen in Dirksland is a pick-your-own flower farm where visitors can cut their own blooms from the fields. The farm grows around 7,000 dahlia plants and 10,000 square metres of seasonal flowers, including field flowers and dahlias. The main picking season runs from July through October, with the most colourful months in August, September and October.
Entry is free, and parking is available on-site. You pay for the flowers you take, with prices based on the number of stems: €15 for 15 dahlia stems or €20 for a bunch of 20 field flowers. The farm provides containers, but you can bring your own. There is a toilet on-site, including one accessible for disabled visitors, and a sheltered area where you can sit and have a drink. Coffee, tea and juice are available for €2, with cake served on Wednesdays and pastries on Fridays and Saturdays.
The farm is open from Tuesday to Saturday, with varying hours: Tuesday 13.30 to 17.00, Wednesday and Friday 09.30 to 16.30, and Saturday 09.30 to 16.00. It is closed on Mondays, Sundays and Thursdays. The paths are grass-covered, so sturdy shoes are recommended, especially after rain. Children can play in a small sandpit, on a trampoline or on a swing, but the farm is not a public playground.
In addition to picking flowers, the farm offers workshops where you can arrange your own bouquets, priced at €35 per person including refreshments. For groups, the farm provides a meeting space for up to 20 people, with facilities such as Wi-Fi, a flip chart and a TV. Private team days are available on Mondays and Thursdays when the farm is closed to the public. The “Vergaderen & Beleven” package includes the meeting room, unlimited coffee and tea, lunch and flowers for all participants, costing €750 for the day.
What visitors say
Visitors come to pick their own bouquets from a large, well-tended pluktuin with plenty of choice—bright blooms, butterflies, and space to wander. The flowers are fresh and abundant, and most say the result is worth the effort. Staff are friendly and offer help if needed, and workshops are available for those who want guidance.
Children enjoy the visit, with trampolines and room to play, and some families stay for food or a high tea made on-site. The price isn’t mentioned as a concern, though one visitor called it an “adventurous” location, which might not suit everyone. A few note the picking is straightforward, with clear instructions, but you’re left to choose for yourself. Most leave planning to return.
