Recently he is best known for his work with James Corner Field Operations and Diller Scofidio + Renfro on the High Line in New York, the Lurie Garden (with Kathryn Gustafson) in Chicago\’s Millennium Park, and his own private garden at Hummelo in the Netherlands. Oudolf\’s extensive ouevre over 30 years of practice includes public and private gardens all over the world.
Oudolf\’s intimate knowledge of planting technologies and cultivars stems from many years in the nursery business-beginning with the propagation of the now ubiquitous Salvia \”Purple Rain\” and continuing to this day with Future Plants, the experimental wing of Oudolf\’s practice, which focuses on breeding and selling plant species used in Oudolf\’s own work. The inspiration for the New Wave Planting movement in Europe, Oudolf\’s test for a well-composed garden is \”not how nicely it blooms, but how beautifully it decomposes.\” Rather than relying on exotic florals, Oudolf\’s gardens are planted with native perennials and grasses chosen for their structure, form and texture over their color. Piet Oudolf is a prominent Dutch garden designer renowned for his unconventional methods of featuring plants throughout their life cycle.
