The Beautiful Perennial Gardens of Piet Oudolf, the World’s Greatest Living Landscape Designer

by Elise Taylor

It is probably an exaggeration to say everyone has walked through a Piet Oudolf garden. But, hundreds of millions of people have: The Dutch landscape designer is the mastermind behind New York City’s High Line and Battery Park, Chicago’s Lurie Garden in Millennium Park, London’s Queen Elizabeth Park, the entry to Toronto’s Botanical Garden, and the Vitra Campus in Southwest Germany. (Just to name a few.) Currently, most consider him the most famous person in his field. “I always had a strong feeling that I could do something different,” Oudolf previously said. “That happened when I met plants.”

A new book Piet Oudolf: At Work, published tomorrow by Phaidon, proves how inarguable his impact is. A photographic anthology of his greatest outdoor work as well as a poetic ode to his creativity (thanks to several essays by his contemporaries), it offers a complete look at Oudolf and his legacy.
