Adopt a plot
What a great idea!
The red, yellow and purple bulb fields of Holland (and Texel!) are iconic. Tulips are one of our top export products, appreciated by millions across the globe. But Bloemrijk Texel is on a different mission: we want to give back to nature. That’s why we’re sowing a native wildflower meadow and letting it flourish as nature intended. No chemicals, just lots of love.
The meadow is home to a vibrant mix of native wildflower species: lady’s bedstraw, thrift, mouse-ear hawkweed, common poppy and more. Each is as charming as the next. And as they grow naturally on Texel, they promote the island’s biodiversity. By adopting a square metre (or more!) of meadow, you can help us on our mission.
Want to adopt a plot?
Every square metre we sow thanks to your support means so much to us. To adopt a plot, all you have to do is complete the adoption form. Fill in your details, pay with iDEAL and you’re done!
We’ll e-mail you your certificate, which is valid for one year. You’re very welcome to adopt several square metres of meadow. And the more you adopt, the bigger your discount. Just think of all those happy bees, butterflies and pollinators...

How your
contribution helps

25,000 m2 of flowers
Our farmland is in a picturesque corner of Texel, hugging the dunes and forest near Den Hoorn. This is where we sow 25,000 m2 of native wildflowers like common foxglove, common poppy and campion – a feast for bees and butterflies!
-
Buy seed mixes
IVN, the Dutch foundation committed to teaching children and adults about nature, conducted research into native Texel flowers and told us which seeds we needed. We buy mixtures of these seeds to sow on our meadow. We also sell seed mixtures for you to grow at home.
-
Education
Bloemrijk Texel organises guided tours (see our newsletter for the dates) of the meadow. We’ll tell you all about our project, the flowers and our mission to boost biodiversity on Texel. You can ask us any questions you like and pick our brains about our approach to nature-inclusive farming.
-
New developments
We’re always thinking of new ideas. For instance, we’ve built a lovely picnic area for visitors and added a pond to the flower meadow. Swallows love it! A pick-your-own garden, new plots of meadow, and much more are in the pipeline.
A blooming business
Calling all busy-bee business owners from Texel and beyond: do you want to be part of the buzz and sow the seeds of change? Tell your guests and customers about us and help us grow our meadow. If you have any of your own ideas for promotions, no matter how wild, we’d love to hear them!
