Bert Bauwens: Building Bridges Through the Green Entrepreneurship Committee
02/02/2020 - 00:00
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!
In 2016, a total of 12,000 cherry trees (Prunus Cerasus “Kelleriis”) were planted - with the help of the TerraCottem soil conditioning technology - in challenging growing conditions. A perfect score was achieved: none of the 12,000 trees planted died: a survival rate of 100% was observed!
"A visitor to a garden sees the successes, usually. The gardener remembers mistakes and losses, some for a long time, and imagines the garden in a year, and in an unimaginable future."
- W.S. Merwin
We will be more than happy to share your TerraCottem experiences too !
