Pluk Vrolijk is a family-run pick-your-own flower garden and catering business located on a picturesque plot in Almkerk. The company focuses on offering a simple, nature-centered experience where visitors can cut their own bouquets from the flower field. The garden is open to the public for self-picking during two main seasons: a tulip season in spring (with recent openings in mid-April) and a summer season with wildflowers and dahlias, which runs from mid-July through the end of September. Visitors can also pre-order dahlia bulbs.

The property features a few informal seating spots in the orchard, available only to those who have picked flowers or pre-ordered food. The associated catering service, Bak Vrolijk, offers homemade cakes, cupcakes, and treat boxes, which can be ordered online and picked up at the on-site address. A selection of vegan and sugar-free baked goods is also available.

The business operates solely during the picking seasons. Throughout the plukseizoen (flower-picking season), specific opening hours are announced via social media. The garden does not have a fixed daily schedule; instead, visitors should check for announced time slots, such as recent evening openings from 19:00–20:30. Contactless mobile payments are accepted, and free on-site parking is available. An off-grid toilet is present on the grounds. The business also hosts baking and cooking workshops (from May onwards) at a separate location in Raamsdonksveer, and offers private photography sessions in the flower field from mid-August to mid-September (€55 per hour).
