Piet Oudolf is renowned for his exceptional use of perennials and grasses. His deep knowledge of plants and skill in choosing and grouping them is brilliantly displayed at Hauser & Wirth Somerset in an immersive, botanically rich garden which enthralls visitors in every season.

The garden piqued the interest of plantsman and garden designer Rory Dusoir who undertook regular visits over the course of a year. In this book he describes the beautiful, dependable plants used to striking effect, scrutinizes the classic Oudolf planting techniques and marvels at the sporobolus meadow which Piet has described as "wilder than wildness itself".

Oudolf fans will delight in this book which gives full access to the plant lists, planting combinations and horticultural know-how. More than 300 exceptional quality photographs capture the very special quality of the gardens and, combined with the text, offer a unique insight into planting the Oudolf way.

About the Authors:

Rory Dusoir worked at Great Dixter as assistant head gardener prior to undertaking the prestigious Kew Diploma. He has written on horticulture for the Daily Telegraph, RHS Garden magazine, and Gardens Illustrated, and has also contributed to two books, Plant User Handbook and Roses: A Celebration.

Piet Oudolf is a world-renowned plantsman and landscape designer and a leading exponent of naturalistic planting. He is known for his work on the High Line and at the Battery in New York and the Lurie Garden in Chicago's Millennium Park. 

Велика монографія про голландського дизайнера садів, що містить його сади та найбільшу колекцію його малюнків, коли-небудь опубліковану

Зайдіть у сад Піта Удольфа, і ви потрапите в мрійливий луг, наповнений багаторічними рослинами, сезонним кольором і текстурою. Ця книга, створена в тісній співпраці з Удольфом, демонструє сади протягом його кар’єри та по всьому світу – від відомого Хай-Лайн у Нью-Йорку до нещодавно висадженого кампусу Вітра в Німеччині. Книга пропонує новий погляд на роботу та творчу практику Удольфа, як з точки зору садівництва, так і з мистецької точки зору, демонструючи знамениті та менш відомі сади, зокрема сади Лурі в Чикаго, Hauser & Wirth Somerset і Menorca, Венеціанську бієнале, Музей Зінгера, Белль-Айл у Детройті, Нома та інші.

Він пропонує безпрецедентне розуміння його процесу проектування, методів роботи та натхнення, а також містить оригінальні ескізи та малюнки, багато з яких опубліковано тут уперше. Ця велика нова монографія важлива не лише своєю широтою та найбільшою колекцією малюнків Удольфа, яка коли-небудь була опублікована, а й тим, що в ній включено абсолютно нові роботи разом із нещодавно замовленими есе, які поміщають його роботи в контекст і пропонують новий погляд на його кар’єру та значення. У книзі також є шлейфи та підказки для пояснення ключових конструкцій.

Join two of the world’s most influential garden designers, Piet Oudolf and Henk Gerritsen, as they describe their ideal perennials, bulbs, grasses, ferns and small shrubs for your natural garden. This comprehensive compendium classifies these 1200 plants according to their behaviour, strengths and uses.

An ideal plant is one that is both beautiful and robust, performing reliably with very little input from the gardener – and without artificial fertilizers and pesticides. Rather than striving for big, bold masses of colourful blooms that are vigorously pruned back as soon as they have finished flowering, their innovative approach to gardening involves choosing plants chiefly for their form – leaves, flower heads and stems included – which means they retain their natural beauty through all the seasons. Find within:

- 1200 beautiful and reliable plants used by top garden designers
- Full descriptions and growing instructions
- Unique easy-to-follow classification according to growing behaviour and use in the garden
- Natural gardening, without artificial fertilizers or pesticides
- More than 250 full-colour photographs

With these plants and expert advice, create a garden that will thrive with the life of the insects and birds it welcomes.

About the Authors:

Piet Oudolf, founder of the New Wave planting movement, is an internationally acclaimed landscape designer who has radically redefined what a garden can be by combining ecology, emotion, and design. 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 design purposes. His innovative planting aesthetics can be seen across the globe in the many iconic urban spaces he has designed, including New York’s High Line, Chicago’s Lurie Garden, and London’s Serpentine Gallery. His own garden and nursery near Arnhem, Holland, has become world-famous. Piet is the subject of the 2019 feature documentary Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf and has been profiled by The New York Times, PBS News Hour, and The Daily Telegraph. He is the co-author of numerous books, including Planting: A New Perspective, Landscapes in Landscapes, and Gardens of the High Line. 

Distinguished garden designer Henk Gerritsen (1948–2008) was born in Utrecht in the Netherlands. He trained as an artist and made his living as a painter before turning to garden design. He was the author of several books, and his best-known garden design project in the UK was the reconstruction of the Waltham Place gardens in Berkshire. He also started the Priona Gardens in Schuinesloot in the Netherlands with his friend Anton Schlepers.

The first major overview of the UK's leading garden designer, Tom Stuart-Smith

'The garden can be a place where the sense of otherness, of nature and of place is so strong that we have a powerful awareness of being, not masters of all we survey, but players in a greater drama … What I am doing as a designer is setting a process in motion, as it were pushing a boat out into the water' Tom Stuart-Smith

Landscape architect and garden designer Tom Stuart-Smith began his own practice in London in 1998. Known for deftly combining naturalism with modernity, and built forms with romantic planting, Stuart-Smith has designed gardens, parks and landscapes in Europe, India, Morocco, the United States and the Caribbean. With clients such as the Royal Horticultural Society, the Royal Academy of Arts and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, he has established himself as one of the UK’s leading landscape designers, with an international reputation for making gardens that respond to their wider landscape setting.

Featuring twenty-four of Stuart-Smith’s projects from around the world, Tom Stuart-Smith: Drawn from the Land is the first major overview of his career, with a critical introduction and essays by leading garden writer Tim Richardson. Two essays by the designer himself reveal his influences and methods, his thoughts about gardens and gardening, and how he approaches his projects. Drawing is an important part of Stuart-Smith’s work, and each garden is illustrated with an overview drawing as well as spectacular commissioned photography. Descriptive texts place each project in context and explain how the features and planting come together to create rich and multi-layered landscapes. An illustrated chronology of Stuart-Smith’s works to date completes this survey.

Offering unique insights into landscape design and planting, this book will provide inspiration and ideas for garden-lovers and professionals, opening up imaginative possibilities for designing spaces from the smallest to the grandest.

About the Authors:

Tom Stuart-Smith is an English landscape architect, gardener and writer. He is a member of the Society of Garden Designers and the Landscape Institute. He has written about landscape design and gardening for the Financial Times, Guardian and Daily Telegraph. Tim Richardson is an internationally respected landscape critic, former editor at Wallpaper*, gardens editor at Country Life and founding editor of New Eden magazine. His previous books include Avant Gardeners and The Arcadian Friends.

An intimate look at the personal garden of the Dutch landscape designer renowned for his plantings at the High Line in New York City, and Lurie Garden at Chicago's Millennium Park.

Hummelo--near the village of the same name in Gelderland in the eastern Netherlands -- is visited by thousands of gardeners seeking inspiration each year. It is Piet Oudolf's home, his personal garden laboratory, a former nursery run by his wife Anja, and the place where he first tested new designs and created the new varieties of perennials that are now widely available.

A follow-up to Oudolf's successful Landscapes in Landscapes -- Hummelo tells the story of how the garden has evolved over the past three decades since Oudolf, Anja, and their two young sons moved onto the property, with its loamy sand and derelict, wood stove-heated farmhouse, in 1982. Text by noted garden author and longtime personal friend Noel Kingsbury places Hummelo in context within gardening history, from The Netherlands' counterculture and nascent green movement of the 1960s, to prairie restoration in the American Midwest, and shows how its development has mirrored that of Oudolf's own outstanding career and unique naturalistic aesthetic.

Oudolf has long been at the forefront of the Dutch Wave and New Perennial Style movements in garden design, which have ecological considerations at their base. His work stresses a deep knowledge of plants, eschewing short-lived annuals in favor of perennials that can be appreciated for both structure and blooms in every season. He is credited for leading the way to today's focus on sustainability in garden design.

The book will appeal to readers who favor beautiful, biodiverse, and ever-changing plantings: seed heads, grasses, sedges, and winter silhouettes. They will be drawn into its pages by lush photography, often demonstrating how Oudolf views his own work, and providing rare glimpses into his daily life. Short essays highlight important techniques, including scatter plants and matrix planting, and introduce other famed landscape designers -- Karl Foerster, Henk Gerritsen, Rob Leopold, Ernst Pagels, and Mien Ruys -- to create a full panorama of the movement Oudolf now leads.

About the Authors:

Piet Oudolf is among the world’s most innovative garden designers and a leading exponent of naturalistic planting, a style that takes inspiration from nature but employs artistic skill in creating planting schemes. Oudolf's extensive work over 30 years of practice includes public and private gardens all over the world. He is best known for his work on the High Line and Battery Park in New York, the Lurie Garden in Chicago's Millennium Park, and Potters Fields in London.

Noel Kingsbury is a researcher, writer, and teacher. A gardener since childhood, he has run a nursery, designed gardens and public spaces, and done doctoral research at the University of Sheffield’s Department of Landscape on the ecology of ornamental perennials.

Перша монографія про голландського ландшафтного садівника Піта Удольфа

Провідна фігура руху за нові багаторічні рослини, садовий і ландшафтний дизайнер Піт Удольф наголошує на структурі рослин як на найважливішому аспекті успішного саду. Багаторічні рослини, які цінуються за свою красу протягом усього життєвого циклу, використовуються майже виключно.

Oudolf кидає виклик звичайним підходам до садівництва, які покладаються на короткочасні спалахи кольору та постійний догляд, і демонструє насолоду від створення тривалих, екологічно чистих панорам, які пов’язані з ландшафтом і сезонами.

Цей чудовий повнокольоровий том містить двадцять три найкрасивіших державних і приватних саду Удольфа, включаючи широко відомі Хай-Лайн і Батері в Нью-Йорку; Віслі, Сад RHS у Сурреї; сади Пенсторп в Норфолку; Сад Лур'є в Міленіум-парку в Чикаго та Il Giardino delle Vergini на Венеціанській бієнале 2010 року.

Доступний текст Ноеля Кінгсбері пояснює, як кожен сад і вибрані для нього рослини відповідають конкретному середовищу. Детальні плани Оудольфа є джерелом натхнення та розуміння для всіх, хто цікавиться як маленькими особистими садами, так і великими громадськими ландшафтами.

Ноель Кінгсбері — всесвітньо відомий письменник про рослини та сади, автор понад п’ятнадцяти книг на цю тему.

In this book, pioneering garden designers Henk Gerritsen and Piet Oudolf describe their ideal perennials, bulbs, grasses, ferns and small shrubs. An ideal plant is one that is both beautiful and robust, performing reliably with very little input from the gardener.

Henk Gerritsen and Piet Oudolf have a genuinely innovative approach to gardening. Rather than striving for big, bold masses of colourful blooms that are vigorously pruned back as soon as they have finished flowering, the authors choose plants chiefly for their form - leaves, flower heads and stems included - which means they retain their natural beauty through all the seasons.
