Field of Dreams - The naturalistic gem Hans Gieszen has created in former meadowlands near Utrecht in the Netherlands is the culmination of a lifelong passion

Ever since his mother gave him seeds as a small boy, gardening has been a passion for Hans Gieszen.

I realised I couldn’t do it in my small garden, but I kept dreaming and reading about it.”
