Piet Oudolf's gardens excite the senses and stir emotion with an approach to gardening that emphasizes form, texture, light, movement, and color. "Designing with Plants" is both inspirational and instructive - an informative and visually breathtaking study that shows readers how to create the same effects in their gardens. This paperback reprint includes four main parts. 'Planting Palettes' shows the range of plant choice available in form, texture, and color. 'Designing Schemes' shows how to combine these elements to create stunning and sculptural gardens. Through stunning photography, 'Planting Moods' shows how to create a particular atmosphere. And 'Year-Round Planting' emphasizes the importance of choosing plants that have value throughout the seasons.
