Paradise in Bloom

The Hortus Conclusus, or enclosed garden, in his neighbourhood was one of many serendipitous occurrences in the life of Ronald van der Hilst (WoI July 2021). The Dutch landscape architect has found himself in a relationship with the tulip ever since he ventured to Antwerp from Amsterdam in the 1990s. Ronald was at the start of a budding career thanks to his first position at the Rubens Huis. This led to many collaborations with, among others, the Plantin-Moretus Museum (also in the Belgian port) and Axel Vervoordt.
