"The vision (pdf)I have developed on gardening (pdf)and especially in my work with perennials (pdf)is based not only out of respect for nature(pdf) but also the power, energy(pdf), emotions, beauty and aesthetics(pdf) it gives." - Piet Oudolf

He is designing the plantings on the HighLine in NYC. Any links you may have of this abandoned railway are warmly welcomed.

The glacial loading of pdfs is so annoying, but the gardens are so rewarding.

I always thought that the perennial new wave planter was the Devo energy dome.

Seriously, though, nice looking gardens. They're exactly the sort of thing that I'll have built around my estate when I become extravagantly wealthy and start hunting other humans for sport. ;)
