Description
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 show more 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. show lessTags

Not really as good as my other perennials books. Photos are inferior and there is nothing to help in planting design.
Lori brought this for us to share while dreaming of the garden at Greenwood
