Spotlight: Our 2026 Tour to the Netherlands

In 2026, we embarked on an immersive exploration of the Netherlands' most innovative gardens, following the progression from Mien Ruys's pioneering designs to today's forward thinking sustainable landscapes. We drifted along historic canals past distinguished nurseries, took part in intimate tours with leading Dutch designers, and discovered how the country's deep horticultural heritage shapes water, space, and native flora into some of Europe's most inspiring garden environments.
