The value of a garden passport is not in its format, but in the continuity it makes possible. Knowledge about a garden remains available when it matters most.
Care with direction
Good care begins by understanding what is already there. A passport helps a gardener see the intention behind planting, materials and layout, so advice and maintenance remain aligned with the character of the garden.
Change without losing character
Gardens evolve with their owners, use and climate. The recorded principles make it easier to understand what a proposed change means and how new work can connect respectfully to existing qualities.
A stronger handover
When a garden changes hands, valuable knowledge is often the first thing to disappear. The passport offers a starting point for a new owner or gardener: what does this garden need, what has been done, and what deserves attention?
Keeping professional work visible
A carefully built garden is more than what can be seen today. Recording relevant choices and knowledge keeps professional work recognisable and useful as seasons and owners change.
A garden passport is not a freely created form. It can only be issued by a gardener affiliated with Borderwijs, so its origin and professional responsibility remain clear.

A garden passport makes a garden readable. It brings together the information needed to understand, care for and develop a garden with respect for its existing character.
The garden’s starting points
Every garden begins with a situation: setting, soil, light, available space and the owner’s wishes. The passport records the principles that guided the design, because the same plant or intervention can mean something very different in another context.
Structure, planting and materials
Key borders, structures, materials and planting are given their place in the story of the garden. This is not an indiscriminate inventory; it identifies the elements that define the design, atmosphere and future care.
Choices that guide care
Care is more than pruning and replacing. A natural hedge needs a different approach from a formal border; young planting needs different support from a mature garden. The passport makes those intentions visible.
A document that can grow
The passport provides a reliable foundation on which an affiliated gardener can add relevant changes and next steps, while the central character of the garden remains recognisable.
The information gains value through the professional context in which it is recorded. A garden passport is therefore issued only through an affiliated gardener.

A garden passport preserves the identity, development and knowledge of a garden. It helps people understand what was created, why choices were made and how the garden can develop further.
A garden has a memory
A garden is not a collection of separate plants. Setting, soil, planting, materials and maintenance all relate to one another. Understanding that context supports better decisions during care, renovation or transfer to a new owner.
That knowledge often disappears when a project is completed or a gardener changes. A garden passport keeps it useful. It does not freeze a garden in time; it helps future change begin with an understanding of what is already there.
From information to insight
A passport records more than what is present. It provides context: the principles behind the design, important planting and materials, and relevant considerations for care and development. It becomes a practical document for the owner and a professional basis for follow-up work.
For now and later
Its value becomes clear when a garden changes. It reduces unnecessary searching during maintenance, provides context for restoration or extension, and gives a new owner more than a view of the garden alone.
