Why did you choose the profession of landscaper?
My first ambition was to become a lawyer, like my father. But I realized from my first years of study that this job was not for me. Very attracted by nature and drawing, I radically changed my path to turn to the Higher School of Garden Architecture. I was immediately won over by the creative aspect of the landscaping profession, which does not consist solely of composing a green space and maintaining it - as many may think. First and foremost a designer, I like to create different universes, imagine volumes, choose colors, materials and essences before putting all my ideas on paper to present them to the client. I had the chance to learn at Philippe Niez, who taught me a lot of secrets about this job. With this experience, I started my own business in 2000 by creating the agency Entre ciel et vert.

What plants and styles of gardens inspire you?
I don't like to lock myself in well-defined boxes or styles. My job is to constantly present new plants and original arrangements, not to repeat what has already been done in the past! I would simply say that I like to mix the plant blur with more structured ensembles, in order to confuse the tracks and not to offer gardens that are too strict or on the contrary too messy. It is for these reasons that I like the work of landscapers Tom Stuart or Russel Page ... The British have always had a mastery of the garden which is very close to what I like. In terms of plants, I often work with perennials, boxwood ... but once again I don't like to mention plants in particular, because all of them have advantages and disadvantages!
