1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,950
We are in Hilversum in the Netherlands.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,643
It’s a garden that is surrounded by a
natural landscape of woodlands and dunes,

3
00:00:11,683 --> 00:00:17,183
and what is special about this garden is
that it’s exactly the surrounding of

4
00:00:17,223 --> 00:00:20,723
forests and trees that envelops the whole
garden,

5
00:00:20,763 --> 00:00:25,977
and there are different conditions in the
garden, there is from full sun,

6
00:00:26,017 --> 00:00:31,446
to dappled shade, into deeper shade, as
the conditions of the garden change,

7
00:00:31,486 --> 00:00:32,950
as the sun moves around.

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,950
From a green garden, as it was before.

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Evergreen topiaries of box, evergreen
Taxus clipped as hedges, and then the

10
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:48,925
basically we transformed it into a garden,
which is very colourful.

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,950
It is also green, of course, but it also
changes, as the season changes.

12
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,430
What is also most important for us is that
it supports the local biodiversity,

13
00:01:01,470 --> 00:01:06,950
providing habitats and lots of different
flowers at different times of the year.

14
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,950
The garden is divided in three different
areas.

15
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,097
You have the front garden, which faces the
road,

16
00:01:13,137 --> 00:01:17,950
and it’s a space that is more for being
viewed from the inside of the house.

17
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,575
Then you have the side of the property,

18
00:01:21,615 --> 00:01:27,615
where the client is more to enjoy a lunch
or dinner, or having time with friends.

19
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,134
And then there is the back of the garden,

20
00:01:32,174 --> 00:01:37,753
where it’s more about using the natural
swimming pool or using the sauna,

21
00:01:37,793 --> 00:01:40,950
as well as having breakfast in the
morning.

22
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,952
When people step into this garden,

23
00:01:42,992 --> 00:01:47,585
the idea is that they should be really
surprised about a huge variety of plants,

24
00:01:47,625 --> 00:01:51,070
and what is interesting is that while you
explore the front,

25
00:01:51,110 --> 00:01:52,950
you don’t see everything in one go.

26
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000
That’s the sort of characteristic of our
gardens,

27
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:05,040
that you need to move through the space to
then actually see what lies behind the

28
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:11,080
curve and what are the plants within that
space.
