Dream Plants for the Natural Garden Piet Oudolf Henk Gerritsen 8601300380247 Books Reviews

• The book appears to be good reference, but not all plants listed are photographed and there is no information about the plants' water requirements - for instance, are they drought tolerant??? The book size, format, and cover feel is great. The content organization is good - plant types and alphabetical - I would appreciate grouping suggestions.
• This is a beautiful and very well-organized, informative, and helpful tool for the home gardener and gardeners of public places, such as office gardens and public parks, who want to use lovely and reliable plants that are hardy, will not invade their neighbors, will not seed themselves so they become troublesome, and demand little attention. Piet Oudolf, a British horticulturalist and landscape architect, describes 1,200 plant species in three parts Part 1 Tough perennials, grasses, ferns, bulbs,and ferns; Part 2 Playful self-seeding perennials, biennials and tender perennials, and annuals; and Part 3 Troublesome invasive, capricious, and demanding plants who fail the test. Detailed descriptions and information include growing conditions needed, and species that are most reliable.
• Great for planning a garden or choosing the right perennial for the right place. Also shows the not-so-familiar plants. A wonderful gift to give to a gardener or give to yourself!
• I love this book. The pictures are beautiful and in color. There is a variety of plants and plant combinations with clear identification of each. I like the overall theme of planting with grasses and low maintenance with such a beautiful outcome. I love that the designs are planned out to have a year round appeal and even though some of the plants may not be available in the US, enough information has been given so that you can find a substitute. So much can be done if you learn the basics and this book does that.
• Great resource!
• good reference for plants that might be weeds to many, but provide real beauty. good tips. attention to the growth stages, and effects of plant communities on the garden. Funny and frank.
• ... great advise for a beginner.
• bought this for a gift, recipient really liked it in combination with "Planting. A New Perspective"
