About us

In 2016, Sarai decided to take a small city garden for the first time. Earlier that year, she had discovered her passion for flowers, plants and urban agriculture and decided to change course. Working in a city garden gave her a sense of peace and pleasure, and turned out to be the perfect combination between city life and nature. By following a study in Biodynamic Urban Agriculture at the Warmonderhof and getting her hands dirty every day, she quickly developed a lot of knowledge about the profession, and therefore decided in 2017 to expand her small piece of land and here a picking garden full of organic cut flowers. to make. Lokale Bloemetjes was born.

Regular floriculture has a huge impact on the environment; both here in the Netherlands, and in the distant countries where a large part of our flowers are grown. At Lokale Bloemetjes we try to offer a biological and sustainable alternative, so that you can enjoy your flowers a little more.

We harvest what we sow, work hard to provide the picking garden with beautiful and responsible flowers and try to create more awareness about the consequences of regular floriculture. Safeguarding nature and sustainability is always central, and we therefore try to maintain a circular working method in everything we do.

We do everything from seeding to harvesting without people, which is a lot of work for a small team. For example, each flower must be planted and cared for by hand and the soil must be tilled without large machines, so as not to disturb the soil life.

Because we do not use greenhouses, we are dependent on nature and we cannot grow during the winter months.
