Monte Flor
A Dutch flower grower cultivating organic, seasonal cutting flowers amidst the terraced hills of Galicia.
Welcome to Monte Flor Galicia!
After twenty years growing heritage flowers in the Netherlands, I fell in love with the microclimates, granitic soils, and wild morning mists of Galicia's Ribeira Sacra.
Here on terraced slopes carved by monks centuries ago, we grow specialty cut flowers without synthetic fertilizers, heated glasshouses, or chemical sprays — working strictly with rain, compost, and the rhythm of Atlantic seasons.
Stay the Night
Campervan Refuge & Tent Pitches
We open four secluded terrace pitches for campervans and tent travelers visiting Ribeira Sacra. Peaceful nights surrounded by lavender borders, sweet peas, and ancient oak forests.

Come Help
We welcome budding growers, florists, and nature lovers to live and work alongside Annemiek on the farm. Learn low-till cut flower techniques in exchange for lodging and fresh farm meals.
1. Animal Care
Deep-dive into microbial soil health, hot composting with local oak bark, and building organic raised beds without turning subsoil.
2. Vegetable Garden
Soil blocking, cold stratification, winter sowing, and microclimate care for finicky specialty blooms and perennial seed saving.
3. Woodland
Dawn harvests at the optimal stage of opening to guarantee exceptional vase life, straight stems, and continual plant regeneration.
4. House & Family Life
Post-harvest hydrology, resting cut stems in spring water, and chemical-free storage techniques that preserve color and fragrance.
Our Signature Flowers
Cultivated organically on granite hillside terraces. Hand-harvested at sunrise for regional florists and nature enthusiasts.
The Process & Journal
Life on the terraces obeys the sun, wind, and Atlantic tides. A glimpse into our seasonal rhythm throughout the calendar year.
Seedlings under glass
The morning frost is still sharp over the valley. Inside the glass lean-to, sweet pea roots push deep into handmade soil blocks, soaking up early Atlantic sun.

The First Ranunculus
Silky, tightly wrapped whorls of peach and butterscotch. Harvesting at 6:30 AM while the mist still blankets the lower riverbed.
Midsummer Abundance
The garden is at full crescendo. Dahlia stems stretch six feet high; nighttime buckets overflow into the stone scullery with fragrant armloads.
