The first book to collect the sketches, drawings and planting designs of garden and landscape designer Piet Oudolf.
Standing in a Piet Oudolf garden you are immersed, as it were, in breathtaking planting that constantly fascinates and moves. For his projects, Oudolf makes sketches and drawings that he incorporates into planting designs, which until now could only be viewed by a small number of people. This brilliantly executed book takes these sketches and design drawings as a starting point to dissect and provide insight into his working process.
Well-known and lesser-known projects demonstrate his great plant knowledge and ability to experiment and innovate. Included are projects such as The High Line, the gardens at Hauser & Wirth gallery in Somerset and Menorca and the garden at Noma restaurant in Copenhagen, as well as never-before-published private gardens. The book includes an introduction by Cassian Schmidt and essays by Rosie Atkins, Jonny Bruce, James Corner, Noel Kingsbury and an interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist.
