What is the difference between a landscape gardener and an assistant greenkeeper?
An assistant greenkeeper focuses mainly on maintaining sports turf and grounds such as golf courses and pitches, keeping the grass in top condition. A landscape gardener works more broadly on laying out and maintaining gardens, parks and green zones. Both look after lawns, but the greenkeeper role is more specialised in playing surfaces.
Is there strong demand for landscape gardeners across Flanders?
Yes, gardening and green space firms across Flanders regularly look for landscape gardeners. Landscaping companies, municipalities and green services need people who work hard outdoors and know their plants. If you are physically fit and handle machinery well, you find work quickly.
