Belgium: the René Pechère literary prize puts the city of New York in the foreground on the garden side

After training at the Nancy School of Horticulture, René Pechère participated in the development of the Gardens for the 1935 Universal Exhibition in Brussels. He continues, two years later, with another exhibition held in Paris, which will earn him the first successes and the attention of Leopold III who asks him to study the arrangement of his property in Argenteuil.

So he installed himself and will create more than 900 private and public gardens in Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands. Like the green labyrinth created in the Van Buuren estate in Uccle, or the park of the administrative Cité, the redevelopment of the Mont des Arts and the garden of the French Embassy. During Expo 58 he created two gardens: the garden of the four seasons and the Congolese garden.
