landscape design
Nature, aesthetics and functionality in harmony
​
HORTUS QUO creates livable gardens that are more than just a collection of plants.
We combine natural beauty with thoughtful design to create spaces that are not only visually attractive, but can also be used optimally.
Vision
Sustainability for the future
We look further than today. Sustainability is a core value in all our activities. From selecting native plants to minimizing water consumption and using environmentally friendly materials, we contribute to a healthier planet.
Biodiversity
We embrace the power of nature. Flower meadows, uncut grass and wild corners create essential habitats for flora and fauna. Biodiversity celebrates its celebration in our gardens. >>
Waterinfiltration
Nature and man in harmony. We consciously choose materials that infiltrate rainwater and combine this with water-permeable foundations. In this way we protect nature and your living environment.>>
Art as a finishing touch
Art objects add an extra dimension to your garden. They create eye-catchers, stimulate fantasy and bring personality into your outdoor space.>>
Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you. (Frank L.Wright)

About
Welcome, Garden Lovers!
I'm Olga Hart, and my admiration for nature is the driving force behind Hortus Quo.
From Blooms to Landscapes: A Natural Progression
​
My journey began with the world of flowers, back in 2012 in Belarus and by 2014 I mastered my floristry skills at McQueens in London. The floristry isn't just about flowers – it has taught me the importance of composition, color and texture.
Life eventually led me to Belgium, where my passion evolved into a new profession.With education from EHB in Landscape and Garden Design I have transitioned my skills and my love for nature into creating beautiful outdoor spaces at Hortus Quo.
​
Just as a florist carefully selects each flower for an arrangement, I carefully choose plants for your landscape. I consider how they will complement each other visually throughout the seasons, ensuring your garden unfolds with vibrant life year-round.
From Brushstrokes to Blooming Landscapes
​
Nature is a constant source of inspiration, both for my work and my paintbrush.
Even knowing you will never be able to match the beauty of nature It's hard to resist trying to capture its beauty on canvas"
I express my love for nature also on the canvas. Painting teaches me to see color harmonies, balance, and the interplay of light and shadow and that what helps me to create outdoor spaces that are not only functional but also captivating.
​
Attention to Detail Creates Beauty
I believe every detail matters, from the layout of pathways to the selection of natural materials. This approach ensures your landscape is not just a collection of plants but a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing extension of your home.
​
Unique Beauty Awaits Your Garden
While my designs may not be extravagant showpieces, I take pride in creating landscapes that are sophisticated yet approachable. Your outdoor space should be a reflection of your personality and a place of relaxation.
