Ons manifest
Do you – like me – want to experience, feel and see the following experiences in your garden:
- I want to enjoy my garden more. A garden should provide a place of tranquility in the busy lives of most people. A safe place where I can recharge my batteries, get close to themselves again, and fully step back into their power. A garden is a green outdoor space aimed at inner peace.
- I want to relearn (or remember) how I can regain that inner peace with the help of my garden: how I can awaken and strengthen my senses in my garden: how I can learn to consciously reflect on the beauty of colors, smells, sounds , flavors .
- I would like to gain knowledge and feel about the seasons in my garden and the associated 'circle of life' : seasonal chores in the garden, insights into the natural processes and cycles in the garden.
- I also want a lot of beauty in my garden, because that is my ultimate goal through everything: beauty in symbiosis with naturalness.
- I also want to gain more insight into the naturalness of choosing an ecological way of working and thinking: respect for all life. And gain more insight (and feeling) about my own place in the bigger picture.
- I want to inspire myself and find practical ideas for my garden, stimulate my imagination , introduce myself to (and possibly initiate) ancient traditions in gardens and nature.
- I want to stimulate myself to admire the magic of nature in my garden .
- I also want to take myself to inspiring places and gardens to see as much beauty as possible and then share that beauty with everyone who wants to hear it.
- I want to investigate and find out what the healing (therapeutic) effect of a garden (but also nature and greenery) is for myself and my loved ones. Including the meaning and symbolism of each type of plant, including the color of flowers.
- I also want to gain insight into which natural forms are conducive to a good feeling in the garden, the intuitive version of the teachings of Feng Shui. The power of gentleness.
- I especially want to learn to feel again and to do this through my garden: let myself descend from my head to my heart and stomach and in this way bring them closer to myself. Because I think that makes me happier. And that includes everyone around me!
If you also want this for yourself and in your garden, then we click!
This gives you clarity about why I do what I do and how I do it! But if you have any questions, let me know! I find it a wonderful activity to do this!
About Sophie
I am Sofie Hoste, born in 1974 (do the math yourself!) and I am happy to inform you that after a long journey with numerous interesting and inspiring wanderings I have returned home to my passion for gardens!
Our vision on gardens
Your garden is the piece of earth that you can transform into your own place: coming home to your own garden. What could be nicer than relaxing in your own beautiful garden during or after a busy day? A beautiful garden invites you to enjoy.
Why do I design gardens?
This is Sofie's story. Why am I a garden designer? Why do I enjoy what I do so much? What drives me to let people design their own gardens (with my guidance)?
