The work of Dutch planting designer Piet Oudolf focuses on seasonal and textural variation, with many native, drought resistant and hardy species. Oudolf's plantings on the High Line include many of the distinct grasses, wildflowers, and shrubs he has used in his other gardens around the world.

Oregon bleeding heart is a widespread lush, long blooming perennial wildflower for moist conditions in shade to full sun. A somewhat rambunctious plant that spreads quickly by stolons. Do not plant it near shy or small plants that can become swamped. It tolerates quite a bit of shade and if in full sun it thrives […]

The Millennium Park in Chicago is a part of the extensive Grants Park situated between Lake Michigan and South Michigan Avenue. In Grants Park you will among other attractions find the Art Museum, the spectacular and famous Buckingham Fountain and in the very south of the park the Shedd Aquarium with a very wide range of aquatic animals including sharks, turtles and jellyfishes. On my daughter’s birthday, July 16th 2004, the Millennium Park in the Northern part of Grants Park, was opened to public. Here you can visit the Lurie Garden made by Kathryn Gustafson, Piet Oudolf and Robert Israel. It is a 20,000 m2 (5 acres) big garden divided into two different parts, the light plate and the dark plate, divided by a formal water channel and a broader pathway. Both sides are planted with perennials and are traversed by several walking paths. The perennial planting design is made by Piet Oudolf from the Netherlands. It is a kind of naturalistic planting although the plants are arranged in distinct blocks rather then spread naturally in a meadow like pattern. Piet has used a mixture of plants from North America, Europe and Asia. The Salvia River known from Drömparken in Enköping in Sweden is here used in a bigger scale and its movement through the planting breaks the static planting blocks a bit in a very beneficial way. When we visited the park in the end of July the Echinacea purpurea was blooming as best together with especially Hemerocallis and Allium senescens.
When one enters Chicago’s Lurie Garden or New York’s High Line, it is clear these are not traditionally cultivated gardens, nor are they prairies, woodlands, or meadows, where composition is […]
About Dutch garden designer Piet Oudolf and his natural gardening style
The Dutch landscape designer on his new book and an essential but often overlooked ingredient in gardening—chance
In Switzerland, design destination Vitra campus now includes a walk through the new Oudolf Garden, the vision of famed landscape designer Piet Oudolf.
From the 1920s to the 1990s the Dutch landscape architect, Mien Ruys, created small, experimental gardens with radical new designs. She wanted to test what works and what doesn't, often with a commercial purpose in mind. For instance, she created many plant combination packages that customers could then buy in her father's nursery.

Not treating plants as dynamic systems is the culprit. MUnicipalities need to turn to experts in plant community design. For the past few years, I have been focused on the development of high performance vegetative systems. These systems are critical to the future of our planet, because as we urban
