This is how we work:
You now buy your harvest share for an entire flower season (April to October 2022).
You have the choice between 2 formulas:
FORMULA 1:
And...Action!
- If you opt for the first formula, you'll collect your tulip bouquets at 1 of our collection points in April and May.
- For self-picking, you'll be invited to the information moment before the start of the season. Your presence is really needed because I'll be teaching you how to pick your flowers.
- You are NOT obliged to come and pick weekly. You come whenever you like, how often you like, spread over the months of June-July-August and September. Your share entitles you to 16 bunches of 20 stems. That equates to 0.80 €/ stem. You cut a maximum of 4 flowerbunches of 20 stems each per picking.
- You have to keep track of how many bunches you harvest. We work in confidence.
- I'll inform you by email when there is a lot to harvest or when the flowers are scarce, and which varieties are blooming.
- You are happy to follow the rhythm of the garden: when there is abundance you pick more, when the flowers are scarce you pick less.
You consider the garden as a living being. You'll be harvesting with respect.
