Pluktuin de Melkweg in Bergentheim is a pick-your-own flower garden where visitors can cut their own bouquets from around 40 varieties of flowers and grasses. The selection includes dahlias, zinnias, sunflowers, cornflowers, cosmos, lathyrus, amaranthus, and ornamental grasses, with availability depending on the season and weather. The garden is open from spring until the end of the growing season in autumn.
The farm operates on a self-service basis. Visitors take a pair of scissors from the garden shed, cut the stems to the desired length, and remove excess foliage at the arranging table. Payment is made by scanning a QR code for a Tikkie or in cash. A large bouquet costs €12.50, and a small one €7.50. Gift vouchers for a large bouquet are also available.
The garden is open Monday to Saturday, 08.00 to 18.00, and closed on Sundays. Parking is available on-site. The farm is unmanned, so no staff are present during visits. Nearby, the same family runs a young cattle shed, an agricultural childcare facility, and an art studio. The garden was started in 2021 on former farmland and has since expanded to support biodiversity and accommodate more visitors.
