Our Own Garden

More and more people are discovering the importance of greenery in their living environment. Not only because a garden full of plants, trees, and flowers looks beautiful, but also because it contributes to a healthier and more sustainable world. But what exactly are the benefits of a green garden? And what should you consider when creating a garden design?

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Mien Ruys Gardens, Buro Mien Ruys designed three city gardens that have become an integral part of these special gardens in Dedemsvaart.

It's always fun to see our designs come to life! Last summer, we had an inspiring garden tour day with several stops along the way. From private gardens to public green spaces, we couldn't stop talking about design, planting, and color combinations.

According to Jana, the romantic garden is a place where silence and melancholy converge. Not perfection and control, but natural forms such as winding paths, sloping lawns, and asymmetry.
