Summary:

A leading figure in the New Perennial planting movement, garden and landscape designer Piet Oudolf emphasizes plant structure as the most important aspect of a successful garden, along with form, texture and colour. He uses perennials almost exclusively to create lasting, ecologically sound panoramas that relate to the greater landscape and the shifting seasons. This book features twenty-three of Oudolf's public and private gardens, along with detailed plans to provide inspiration and insight for small personal gardens and for the design of large-scale public landscapes.--From book flap.
