Part of the reason I like being a director is because it’s more outward. I’m pretty shy and don’t just wanna make it all about me. Have you given thought to the type of content you’re interested in sharing? But with this new film I’m about to start, I thought it could be a fun way to share some of the stuff I’ve accumulated over the years for anyone interested in my work.

My wife and I first opened a nursery in Hummelo, the Netherlands back in the 1980s, this is where my planting style emerged with strong block-type groupings based on structure and texture as much as colour. ![]() I'm probably best known as the landscape designer from the Netherlands! And I consider myself along with Noel Kingsbury as one of the leading figures of the ‘New Perennial’ or ‘New Wave Planting’ movement, using bold blocks of perennials and grasses to create Prairie style designs. I looked at landscape gardening as a career alternative to my family business of catering.
