Surrounded by pine forest this house in ‘Long Island’ style is located near the famous nature reserve the Kalmthoutse Heide. The garden underwent a much needed renovation after years of neglect.
Formal structures where kept and updated, interplanted with a mix of perenials. A river of grasses was used to create cohesive design. A big magnolia tree punctuates the end of the planting underplanted with grasses to continue the planting scheme.

Contrast between tight clipped forms and losse planting fill the garden with a dynamic atmosphere. The white blooming Luzula nivea grasses lifted the mood towards the front entrance by providing light in an otherwise very shady part of the garden.

Working with the existing conditions was the hardest part in designing this garden. Sandy soils and a limited amount of sunlight dictated the shape of the borders and the plant species suitable for the garden, resulting in an elegant composition of vertical shapes and textures. In fall the whole planting turns rich colours of burgundy, white and silver.
