Oudolf Gardens bij Hauser & Wirth in Somerset (Dutch)

Piet Oudolf has made a name for himself worldwide with his special application of perennials and grasses. Oudolf Gardens at the renowned Hauser & Wirth art gallery in Bruton, Somerset is a fantastic example of his in-depth plant knowledge and mastery in putting together plant groups. In this botanically very rich garden in England, visitors are immersed in a beautiful plant world in every season.

This garden became a fascinating source of inspiration for plant enthusiast and landscape architect Rory Dusoir. He went there regularly for a year. In Oudolf Gardens he describes the beautifully combined and beautifully applied, extremely reliable plants that grow there. He unravels Oudolf’s special planting techniques and admires the sublime Sporobolus Meadow, described by Piet himself as ‘more natural than nature itself’.

Fans of Oudolf’s work will find detailed information about the plants, combinations and underlying designs in this book. More than 300 beautiful photos show the sublime level of these gardens. Together with the text, they provide a unique insight into the way in which Oudolf designs and realizes garden plants
