Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Trained as an architect, Oudolf values plants as much for their form and texture as for their color. He is the founder of New Wave planting, a spectacular naturalistic style of landscape design. Oudolf stresses the importance of choosing plants that "live well and die well," so that from birth in the spring through the crescendo of summer to the stark beauty of autumn and winter the garden presents continuing drama and interest.

Review:

andquot;Piet Oudolf [has] ... an uncanny eye for plant combinations.andquot;and#8212;Anne Raver, New York Times, March 2, 2003

Review:

andquot;Stretches your imagination to see plants not just for their flowers but also for their shape, form, color, size, and texture in all seasons.andquot;and#8212; Maggie Oster, National Gardener, October 2003

Synopsis:

Based on New Wave planting, a spectacular naturalistic style of landscape design that values plants for form, texture, and year-round interest, this book will help you create original and captivating gardens.

About the Author

Piet Oudolf is a native of Holland and originally studied to be an architect. Instead of designing buildings he became the founder of New Wave planting, a movement which takes inspiration from nature but employs artistic skill in creating planting schemes. As a plantsman, his aim is to emphasize the form, texture, and natural harmony of plants, and as a skilled plant breeder, he creates new varieties for these and other specific design purposes. His style is the result of the influence of various horticultural traditions such as the combination of Dutch formality and naturalistic planting styles.
