For this day of outdoor immersion, Pascale will meet you in her flower field, a few minutes walk from her U-pick field.

You will have the opportunity to visit the field while following the information given by Pascale about the chosen production method, the choice of varieties and their seasonality, the cultivation techniques and the properties of each flower. This will be the moment to open your ears and ask all the questions you want!

Then, you will get your hands in the soil! Depending on the season, you can take part in picking from June to September, planting bulbs in November, or sowing in March-April.

After this productive morning, you will go to the U-pick field to have your lunch. Everyone will bring their own lunch for a convivial moment!

In the afternoon, you will discover another type of production. On the Cycle Farm Fleurs field, Pascale cultivates a U-pick field. She will present the specificities of this production method. With her pruning shears in hand, you will be able to pick your own bouquet by following her advice!

Give free rein to your creativity and play with shapes and colours to create your bouquet!

Bouquet in hand, you can still relax on the bench at the foot of the flowers to recharge your batteries in the fresh air!

Psst! Remember to come equipped. This workshop takes place outside and not in a greenhouse. So dress according to the weather, bring appropriate shoes and clothes that you can get dirty.

Meet Pascale Malilo

Horticulturist

Pascale started her professional life as a graphic designer.

During a holiday in France, she discovered the beauty of flower gardens.

In 2015, she decided to change careers to make a living from her passion and took a course in organic market gardening.

The adventure really began when she joined the Cycle Farm producers' cooperative located south of Brussels. There she grew aromatic plants and edible flowers for curious and creative restaurateurs. Eventually, she decided to focus on cut flowers.

She then launched a pick-your-own flower project called 'Cycle Farm Fleurs' which suited her better! The principle is simple. You pick a bouquet yourself following Pascale's advice and pay according to her instructions; an approach based on trust!

On another field nearby, Pascale also grows flowers that she dries and sells during winter to florists. Daphne and Elléa, florists at Wecandoo, use them for their beautiful creations that only they know how to make!

Pascale is a member of the Belgium Slow Flowers movement, which promotes flowers that are grown with passion locally, respecting nature and the seasons.

Her field is a real corner of paradise where vegetables and flowers cohabit and delight passers-by as well as producers! It's a haven to come and breathe and recharge your batteries!

Superbe expérience! Pascale est pédagogue, d’une grande gentillesse et générosité. J’ai passé une journée joyeuse et paisible, au milieu des fleurs qu’elle cultive avec amour. Je reviens avec des souvenirs plein la tête et les bras. Très heureuse de mon joli bouquet! Merci 💐

Très belle journée aux côtés de Pascale, dans le très beau lieu qu'elle parfume et colore de fleurs avec beaucoup de soin et de délicatesse. C'était un petit moment suspendu hors du temps. Doux, coloré, serein, généreux, joyeux. Merci !

J’ai eu la chance de rencontrer Pascale lors d’un atelier d’une journée et quelle bouffée d’air frais ! Tant l’activité en plein air, les mains dans la terre, à échanger sur la culture des fleurs et les expériences, que la personne en elle-même et son projet très inspirant. Pascale est dévouée et pleine de ressources, c’est un bonheur de s’inspirer de ses conseils et connaissances qu’elle partage sans aucune retenue et avec beaucoup de plaisir. Merci à elle pour tout cela 🙏🏻 !
