Joep has a great passion for plants. From an early age, he spent a lot of time in nature and helped in his parents garden. Whenever possible, he visits gardens, parks, nature and nurseries at home and abroad.

He is convinced that the base for a good planting plan is an extensive knowledge of plants. That’s why he continues to learn every day by not only standing behind the drawing board, but also planting his own projects and visiting regularly to monitor development.

The diversity in natural landscapes and plant communities are his biggest source of inspiration. His work is therefore characterised by the naturalistic feel of his projects, where the experience of the different seasons plays a major role.
