About this episode
Matthieu Mehuys shares his journey from a family farm in Belgium to becoming an award-winning landscape architect focused on creating sustainable and ecological spaces.
Matthieu Mehuys is an award-winning author and landscape architect on a mission to create a greener, healthier world. His journey began on a family farm in Belgium, where, from the age of three, he was captivated by the magic of turning tiny seeds into vibrant plants. After earning a Master of Engineering in Landscape Architecture, Matthieu landed what he thought was his dream job, but quickly realized he was stuck in a system that didn’t align with his purpose. Frustrated and unfulfilled, he took a bold leap: quitting his 9-to-5 job to embark on an epic quest around the globe. Along the way, he worked on some of the world’s most breathtaking gardens and pioneering eco-projects, shaping his vision for how people can live in harmony with nature. Today, Matthieu runs an international landscape architecture and consulting business, designing biodiverse, ecological, and high-value developments, gardens, and farms. He helps clients around the world create stunning, low-maintenance spaces that work with nature to restore ecosystems and maximize land potential.
