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.

Populations of butterflies, bees and pollinators have been in decline for years, sometimes dropping by 75%. Our wildflower meadow, packed with native nectar and pollen, can help save them.

What a
great idea!

    Bloemrijk Texel says no to monoculture and yes to natural flowers. Why? Because native wildflowers nourish soil life and enrich our landscape. Our initiative proves that sustainable is beautiful!

    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.
