09/12/2025 - 08:39
What makes someone a great landscape gardener?
A passion for greenery, a deep understanding of soil and plants, a keen eye for quality, and — of course — a healthy dose of East Flemish modesty.
Meet Bert Bauwens from Waasmunster, Belgium. With 18 years of experience under his belt, Bert truly embodies the craft. In this candid conversation, he shares how it all began in his grandfather’s vegetable garden, why TerraCottem is his go-to choice for laying lawns, and why supporting fellow landscapers — even those considered competitors — matters deeply to him.
Oh, and one more thing: Bert’s work will soon be admired from above, as he takes home the top prize in our drone competition!

Each of them has their own story, their own vision, and their own unique approach—and we’re proud to share and celebrate these journeys.
