Green Screens in the garden of Elise Schaap

26 February 2021

Elise Schaap loves to drink her coffee every morning in her garden in the middle of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Last Summer, together with her husband Wouter and garden designer Erwin Stam, Elise has given a makeover to her backyard, with the following end result: a beautiful garden with green, ambiance and organic shapes as the main focus.

The Mobilane Green Screens were chosen by Elise and Wouter as a boundary fence. A green and sustainable fence with instant green result. “With the Green Screens, a garden is instantly green and has a finished look. When you look outside, you have a nicer view than when you look at a grey fence.”

Elise, where do you get inspiration for your garden?

Before we started to redesign the garden, I collected pictures on Pinterest. When we started to work with Erwin Stam, we were able to show what kind of ambiance we wanted to create.

What do you think is important when designing the garden

It should not be too neat. Our garden has a rectangle shape. The round shapes makes the garden become more organic.

Why did you choose the Green Screens from Mobilane?

This beautiful fully-grown wall has the same feature as a plasterered wall in a house: it is instantly beautiful and it has a finished look. In addition, when you look outside, you have a nicer view than when you look at a grey fence.

What is your favorite spot in your garden and why?

That is a tough one, we have several spots where we like to sit down. However, I am a morning person and the sunrays fall on the front terrace. Enjoying the sun with a cup of coffee on the front terrace, love it!

Do you have any tips for designing the garden?

When designing our garden, we also included lighting. This makes that the garden is not only used during the day but you can also use the garden in the evening when for example you want to read a book.

Think about biodiversity and opt for plants that grow during different parts of  the year. This ensures that you can enjoy colours in the garden throughout the year.
