Tom de Houwer

Through his famous lectures, workshops for professionals and students and articles in numerous publications, Tom de Houwer takes a holistic approach to floral art: a comprehensive mission that starts with the discovery of the personal essence, which is then transferred into his designs. The outcome of this vision is a successful symbiosis of perfection and authenticity: beyond the spectacular appearance of his works lies an intimate search.

Those who know him well describe him as an authentic force of nature driven by creativity. All of this has led him to be considered one of the most talented floral designers today. Besides running a florist’s called Ambrosia, a 17th-century farm repurposed to focus on the latest trends in contemporary floral art, in his native Beerse, for more than twenty years now, De Houwer travels around the world teaching his techniques and concepts, from China to South Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, France, Italy, the UK and many other countries.
