Private Garden Schoten
This expansive private garden in Schoten covers 38,000 square metres and was developed between 1993 and 1997. The design features a prominent water canal that gives the garden its distinctive character.
The formal water feature serves as the garden’s central axis, with structured hedging and tree avenues radiating outward. The scale of the property allows for a genuine progression from formal gardens near the house to naturalistic parkland beyond.
The canal creates reflections that double the visual impact of the surrounding plantings, while providing a sense of calm and order that anchors the composition.
The Schoten garden is one of the great private gardens in the Wirtz portfolio, combining water, structure, and scale in a design of lasting elegance.
