Piet Oudolf and Anja Oudolf Nursery

To see combination between a beautiful garden and a well kept nursery is such a pleasure.
I have been wondering for months what kwerkery meant, wasn't Oudolf a great landscaper?Working all around the world designing beautiful grass-scape? It wasn't THAT clear for me at the time how related and in strict connection those reality where.
Piet Oudolf garden is a beautiful one,  beautiful shaped form in contrast with healthy and bright grasses, his wife nursery is a natural one, not forced plants (as we are used so much in Italy), very well set in the constest, so every guest can choose his own combination.
Everything make me wonder about having my own nursery, where to grow uncommon plants to plants in our gardens.






 Here the pergola shapes the edges, ready to be broken from sensuous grasses

 Piet Oudolf is now so famous for the New York High Line, saved from demolition in 2002 and now a mayor garden in the City.
He is now, and earlier, a master in Landscape
His garden impress me as Impressionist painting, surprise me as early spring and give such a strong feeling of natural, even if it's everything but spontaneous.
This visit was made in August 2010, just the day before the closed to come to Italy to the Biennale in Venezia.




From this we took inspiration for our garden in euroflora
