Hermannshof, Piet Oudolf & Gardens of the Northern Dutch Provinces (Part II)
In part one of this series (published three long months ago) I shared photos from my summer visit to Cassian Schmidt's horticultural playground, Hermannshof in Weinheim, Germany and visionary Piet Oudolf's seminal masterpiece in nearby Hummelo, Netherlands.
The primary purpose of my trip to Europe was to participate in an Oudolf lead planting design seminar hosted at his private home and garden, followed by a Gardens Illustrated tour of significant naturalistic gardens in the Northern Dutch Provinces. Noel Kingsbury was our well-informed guide.
Below are images of the many beautiful gardens we toured (images link through to Flickr photo sets).
