Mien Ruys (1904-1999) is a world-famous Dutch garden and landscape architect. She is seen as a pioneer of modern garden design and, as one of the first female designers in the male bastion of landscape architecture, worked with famous artists and designers such as Rietveld. Ruys liked to work with sleek shapes: rectangles, squares and clear lines. She was one of the first in the Netherlands to seriously concern herself with smaller city gardens as a garden architect.
