"If the world of gardening has rock stars, Piet Oudolf qualifies as
Mick Jagger, David Bowie, and Prince rolled into one." --Gardenista
The original publication of Planting the Natural Garden ushered in a
revolution in landscape design: the New Perennial Movement. Spearheaded
by internationally renowned designer Piet Oudolf, and incisively
articulated by the late plantsman and designer Henk Gerritsen, it
transformed private and public spaces with its emotionally resonant,
naturalistic use of hardy perennials and grasses.
Now this classic has been expanded and updated to include scores of new
plants and combinations. Packed with practical information and visual
inspiration, Planting the Natural Garden zeroes in on the New
Perennial Movement's power to move us, making its distinctive plant
palette available to all. For enthusiasts of these vibrant landscapes,
it is an essential text; for gardeners who love the dreamy moods and
colors that Oudolf and Gerritsen celebrate, it's the key to a magic
kingdom of garden beauty.
