1. 5/5

   Den är en mycket modern bok med bra information om hur man kan skapa trädgård i tiderna med ekologiska problem. Idéerna är presenterade på ett pedagogiskt sätt och ger mycket inspiration. Den är väldigt användbar och intressant.

   Piet Oudolf beskriver formgivning av trädgårdar och parker där han alltmer närmar sig det naturliga. Dvs att i en grundplantering med gräs eller enkla, tåliga perenner spränger in avvikande växter, så som det ser ut i naturen. Det är detaljerat med ritningar och vackra fotografier.
