The Association of Belgian Landscape Architects, B.V.T.L./A.B.A.J.P., is a national, non-political professional association, whose members are natural persons practising the profession of landscape and garden architect. Our professional association is engaged in the study, protection, and development of the professional interests of our members.

On 24 August 1930, the Association of Belgian Landscape Architects, V.B.T., was founded in Antwerp by a dozen Belgian garden architects under the inspiring leadership of Jules Buyssens and Georges Wachtelaer. The Association of Belgian Landscape Architects (BVTL/ABAJP) promotes and fosters high quality garden and landscape architecture in the Belgium.

On 29 May 1971, the name was changed into the Belgian Association of Landscape and Garden Architects. In order to be able to function in a purposeful way, two chambers - the Dutch and the French-speaking - were established within the association in 1977. In 1996 The two chambers changed into language groups.

The organisation counts 120 members. Landscape and Garden Architects in Belgium are employed both in public and private sector and have a wide range of tasks.

Main objectives:

  • Promote the development of a sustainable living environment,
