What visitors say
This pick-your-own garden near Wageningen offers a delightful experience, with visitors praising its beautiful setting and well-maintained grounds. The garden boasts a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and herbs for making tea, creating a diverse and engaging activity. Many appreciate the opportunity to enjoy homemade cakes and juices made with ingredients from the garden. The location is also suitable for events.
However, several reviewers have noted that the prices, particularly for fruit and flowers, are quite high, and the entrance fee is not cheap either. Furthermore, some customers have had negative experiences with the service, describing the owner or staff as unfriendly and inflexible. Some felt that the focus has shifted from the experience to profit. While many find the garden a lovely and relaxing place to visit, potential visitors should be aware of the pricing and potential for a less-than-welcoming atmosphere.
