This self-picking flower garden and tea garden, known as Stadsland, has been welcoming visitors since 2008. It is located at Hasselterdijk 57, 8043PG Zwolle.
The garden operates from early June until the end of October, or until the first night frost. It is open Wednesday through Sunday, from 12 PM to 5 PM.
Visitors can self-pick a variety of summer flowers from June until November. A picking session costs €12, allowing for approximately 20 stems. A punch card for three picking sessions is available for €30 and is valid for the season of purchase. Gift cards for single picking sessions are also offered. All pickers receive a complimentary cup of tea from the garden. Homemade cake is occasionally available, requiring an appointment a few days in advance. Payments can be made with cash or via QR code.
Just outside the garden, a stall frequently offers ready-made bouquets and sometimes plants. Seasonally, this stall provides potted snowdrops in January and February, bunches of daffodils and tulips in March and April, and other spring flowers in May.
For current information, visitors can consult the Instagram page @pluktuinstadshagen, or contact the garden via phone/WhatsApp at 0610169105 or email at [email protected]. The garden is managed by Christian and Silvia Meyer, supported by seven volunteers.
What visitors say
Visitors consistently describe this self-picking garden as a truly wonderful and spacious destination, offering an oasis of peace and relaxation. Many highlight the impressive array of beautiful flowers and greenery, praising the wide variety available for picking. The tranquil, rural setting, often noted for its unique location by a dike, enhances the overall charm and makes it an ideal spot for photography.
Guests frequently commend the owners and hostess for their exceptional hospitality, warm welcome, and helpfulness, contributing to a consistently positive experience. The garden is considered enjoyable for all ages, including children and grandchildren, with many visitors returning year after year, some even opting for flower subscriptions due to the great value and quality. Beyond the picking experience, guests can enjoy delightful refreshments such as fresh mint tea and homemade rhubarb cake, with the option to order additional cake when reserving. It’s important to note that while one review mistakenly mentioned fruit picking, the primary offering is flowers and greenery. Additionally, some past reviews referred to a pleasant Bed & Breakfast experience, but the owner has confirmed that the B&B component is no longer operational, with the focus solely on the seasonal reopening of the picking garden.
