Planting | A New Perspective | Piet Oudolf & Noel Kingsbury
Piet Oudolf and Noel Kingsbury are the leading international exponents of sustainable planting design. They are also nurserymen with decades worth of knowledge about plants and their habits.
This book offers keen gardeners, garden designers and landscape architects a unique insight into how they combine these areas of expertise to create some of the world's most memorable parks and gardens. Piet and Noel then demonstrate how this effect can be achieved on a smaller scale in domestic garden settings.
An intimate knowledge of plants is essential to the success of this approach and Planting makes Oudolf’s considerable understanding of plant ecology and performance accessible, explaining how plants behave in different situations, what goes on underground, and which species make good neighbors. Extensive plant charts and planting plans will help you choose plants for their structure, color, and texture as well as the way they perform in the landscape. A detailed directory, with details each plant’s life expectancy, the persistence of its seedheads, its tendency to spread, and propensity to self-seed, is an invaluable resource.
