Inspiration for your garden

Dedemsvaart - 'Sleeper Mien' got the Dutch citizens into gardening in the last century. Mien Ruys (1904 - 1999) is known for her ornamental gardens for the common people. The landscape architect from Dedemsvaart grew into one of the most important landscape architects of the 20th century. In the decades after World War 2, she introduced cheap garden materials such as railway sleepers and washed gravel tiles. Her designs are characterized by clean lines and lush borders.
