ABOUT MATTHIEU MEHUYS
Matthieu Mehuys is a Belgian landscape architect, regenerative garden designer, and lifelong nature enthusiast. Raised on a farm, he fell in love with plants early, amazed that a tiny seed could grow into food, shelter, or a thriving ecosystem. That fascination became his calling.
Driven to understand ecological systems more deeply, he pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture, followed by a Master’s in Landscape Architecture in Munich, Germany where he learned the importance of rigor and precision in lanscape design.
Through his landscape design studio Paulownia and his online course Garden of Your Dreams, Matthieu helps people create beautiful, low-maintenance gardens that work with nature.
His approach blends aesthetics, biodiversity, and practical regenerative principles to bring outdoor spaces to life, no matter the size.
Why It Matters
Matthieu believes gardens are more than just pretty spaces, they’re powerful ecosystems. By restoring soil, encouraging pollinators, and planting with purpose, anyone can turn their garden into a place that heals both people and the planet.
The Mission
Matthieu’s mission is simple: to inspire and guide as many people as possible to reconnect with nature, regenerate the land, and create thriving outdoor spaces rooted in natural balance to leave the Earth better for future generations.

WHY PAULOWNIA?
Paulownia is a fast growing and drought resistant tree with an exotic touch that can reach 15 metre of height with a beautiful early spring flower.
When you prune down the tree every year, you can have vigorous shoots that can reach up to 5 metres in one single season as well as exceptional big leaves.
This tree received it’s nickname ‘oxy-tree’ because it has developed one of the most effective photosynthesis systems. It produces a lot of biomass, while storing carbon in the soil and producing oxygen abundantly.
Choosing Paulownia as our company name is a direct reference to the positive impact that we want to have with our projects on one of the biggest challenges of our modern times.
