I organize in-person talks by inspiring designers, landscape architects, and authors a few times a year in Austin. Since that time, I’ve bought every book that he has.

When I first saw Piet Oudolf’s work several years ago, it startled and provoked me. If you’re reading in an email, click here to visit Digging and find the comment box at the end of each post. With the publication of Piet’s latest book in collaboration with Noel Kingsbury, Planting: A New Perspective, I thought it worth re-visiting a 3 Part Interview about Piet that I wrote in 2009. He consulted on planting designs for the Lurie Garden in Chicago’s Millennium Park and the High Line in New York, both of which use a matrix of grasses to support a wide range of perennials. Please scroll to the end of this post to leave one. His planting designs in Europe and the United States are masterful mixes of textures, colors, and seasonal highlights. When: This weekend only, April 24 through April 26, until 11:59 p.m. My wife Troy and I are guests for a casual lunch at Hummelo seated around the work table in the middle.

Imagine this: A bright Saturday afternoon in the Netherlands last September interrupted by sheets of rain. Like a meadow, where it is a great pleasure to get lost. What: Digital premiere of the film Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf My first glimpse of Piet Oudolf At Work on Phaidon Press could hardly have happened at a more auspicious time and place. It is Summer time and the garden that Piet Oudolf designed and built at the Vitra Campus, inaugurated last September and immediately closed due to Covid, is an explosion of colors, fragrances and buzzing of bees.

And then come back and tell me what you thought of it. I think gardening, and immersing oneself in a beautiful garden, saves a lot of us.
