Historic Vegetables Farm, Historical vegetable garden in Rijkel, Netherlands.
The Historic Vegetables Farm in Beesel is a place where old vegetable varieties are grown across multiple garden sections using traditional growing methods. The different areas show how plants develop side by side and how seeds are saved for future seasons.
The site grew from farming practices that local farmers carried out for generations in this region. The gardens preserve growing methods and plant varieties that are typical of the Limburg area.
The name reflects a time when vegetable gardening was central to local life and food security for families in the area. Visitors can observe how the plots are organized and watch how different plants grow across the various sections.
Visitors should know that the gardens are accessible during certain seasons and there are rest areas where you can sit down. It helps to check opening times beforehand and wear comfortable clothes to explore the different sections.
A team of volunteer helpers care for over 50 different historical vegetable varieties that would otherwise have disappeared from the area. This work is visible to visitors as you walk through the gardens and can observe the careful tending.
