BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Nowadays people make high demands on their environment. Particularly in a very urbanised, densely-populated environment such as Flanders, the call for more nature, more green is becoming ever more emphatic. Public space projects can improve the social comfort to a significant degree.
Variation is the key. No haphazardly chosen plants, but the right plant in the right place.
Varied, surprising planting of sensibly combined perrenials, shrubs and trees create a pleasant, green environment.
In a modern public space policy this is done with low-maintenance planting and with as limited use as possible of chemicals. The icing on this green cake is the creation of natural biotopes.
