Those gardens looks beautiful, and I am a huge fan of Oudolf as well (have you seen his new book "Landscapes in Landscapes"? It's mostly pictorial, but also includes plans for many of the gardens...quite interesting!scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-88803799868344719522011-06-03T19:52:04.283-05:002011-06-03T19:52:04.283-05:00Thanks Jennifer,

I am pretty satisfied with this as I do not have the room for mass plantings.<br /><br />It is obvious Piet Oudolf has had a great influence in this garden and I appreciate the design and the lack of structure, but it is definitely there just not in your face.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-87510434734424753682011-06-03T19:47:52.742-05:002011-06-03T19:47:52.742-05:00Hi Eileen, You are going to think that I am crazy,...Hi Eileen, You are going to think that I am crazy, but I want one of those donkeys. LOL! They are too cute. I enjoyed the tour. One thing I kept thinking as I scrolled through was how effective mass plantings are. I do not know why I am don't act on this simple idea. I see it again and again, yet when it comes to my own garden i feel I have to cram different plants one on top of the other.<br />Enjoy your weekend!Jennifer@threedogsinagardenhttp://threedogsinagarden.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-71649204456058442842011-06-03T19:47:09.278-05:002011-06-03T19:47:09.278-05:00Tnanks ,
