Pluktuin EvenZicht

Sociale Voedseltuin Pluk Wijhe is a pick-your-own garden in Wijhe focused on vegetables, fruit and herbs. The 5,000-square-metre plot grows potatoes, onions, garlic, beetroot, Swiss chard, kohlrabi, kale, pointed cabbage, beans, sweetcorn, pumpkins, courgettes, peas, broad beans and simple herbs. Fruit trees, berry bushes and other edible plants are being added each season. The garden operates as both a self-pick plot and a production area. Visitors can harvest their own produce; part of the harvest is also distributed to households on limited budgets through local partners and the Voedselbank Raalte. The garden is open to everyone, with no registration required. Volunteers and participants work together on planting, maintenance and harvesting, and the site hosts regular volunteer mornings where tools and refreshments are provided.

De Dolle Deel is a pick-your-own flower farm near Hoonhorst, just outside Zwolle. The main crop is dahlias, with sunflowers, zinnias and mixed flowers also available. The flower field is open daily through September, with no set hours—visitors can come during the day or in the evening. You pick your own bouquet and pay by the stem: €7 for 10 stems, €14 for 20, or €17.50 for 25. Payment is by QR code at the field, or cash in a money box if the QR code does not work. The farm provides no containers, so bringing a bucket is recommended if you are travelling far. A tap is available for water.

De Wildeling in Lettele is a pick-your-own flower farm where visitors can gather seasonal, locally grown blooms. The farm specialises in hand-tied bouquets, DIY flower bundles, and self-picking in its flower fields. You select your own stems and arrange them into bouquets or take home pre-harvested bundles to arrange later. The flowers are grown naturally and in tune with the seasons, with varieties changing throughout the year. The farm is currently closed due to illness, but when open, picking is available by appointment only. You can book a self-picking session or order pre-made bouquets and bundles for collection. Bouquets and DIY bundles are also available for delivery within the municipality of Deventer. The farm offers memberships for regular visitors, including a monthly flower subscription (“Wilde Fluistering”) and an exclusive self-picking membership (“Wilde Verwondering”), which allows multiple visits during the growing season.
