Frances, said...: Interesting article, although it doesn't SELL Oudolf's ideas very well. I have his book, "Designing with Plants", but he was preaching to the choir here at Faire Garden. NYT has been disappointing on Thursday's of late, they need to pick it up!; January 31, 2008 at 4:20 AM

chuck b. said...: I'm attempting his style in a very abbreviated manner. I have some native grasses that go summer dormant, and I spread some Nigella seed. My garden should have the Oudolf look by late August and last until the fall rains, about two months later.; January 31, 2008 at 4:44 PM
lisa said...: I like his ideas, especially integrating wildflowers and grasses...thank you for the info!; February 1, 2008 at 3:22 PM
