Droomplanten - Piet Oudolf, Henk Gerritsen

The first edition of Droomplanten appeared in 1990, just as a quiet revolution was beginning in garden and landscape design. Garden designers Piet Oudolf and Henk Gerritsen brought together a new generation of perennials for private gardens and public spaces – resilient plants and grasses with a more natural character, subtler colours, and distinctive textures and forms that remain beautiful long after flowering.

In the decades since, this approach to design and planting, now known as The New Perennial Movement, has spread around the world, while Piet Oudolf has become an internationally renowned and highly sought-after designer.

Revised for the present day, this new edition of the classic book introduces a wealth of new plants and grasses, examples of planting combinations, practical information, and many beautiful, inspiring photographs. For admirers of Oudolf’s planting style, it offers an insight into the building blocks of his approach – and an indispensable guide to creating the same atmosphere in your own garden.
