Following on the success of Designing with Plants and Dream Plants for the Natural Garden, Piet Oudolf's landmark first book (co-authored by Henk Gerritsen) is now available in English. Thoroughly updated and revised, including several new chapters and many new photographs, it provides the definitive argument for the 'natural garden.' Hundreds of eye-catching plant combinations are explained in detail and provide ideas for every garden. As ethereal, even lyrical, as these gardens and plants can seem to the eye, these are tough plants that do not need to be pampered or coddled. The popularity of the Dutch Wave, from England's Chelsea Flower Show to the healing garden at New York's World Trade Center, has as much to do with the reliability and sturdiness of the plants as it does with their beauty and grace.
