http://noels-garden.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-piet-oudolf-story-and-many.html
Various ramblings and musings on gardening, agriculture, food and related subjects. Saturday, May 16, 2015. The Piet Oudolf story, and many. A lot of regular readers of this blog will probably be aware of the 'Oudolf Hummelo' book being 'out'. I've been meaning to write something about it for some time but been very busy.

Various ramblings and musings on gardening, agriculture, food and related subjects. Wednesday, September 10, 2014. A trip to Prague. The castle of Pruhonice. I made a flying visit to Prague last week, to do a couple of lectures to a conference - Ūdržba trvalkovych záhonů – maintaining perennial beds, I think that means. Frustratingly short, but no time wasted, with two guided tours of two immensely important parks with their botanical collections. What struck me in particular were some photographs of per...

Various ramblings and musings on gardening, agriculture, food and related subjects. Thursday, August 15, 2013. A hard look at the Japanese garden - Part One. Garden at Tenryu-ji monastery, Kyoto. Classic sand garden, pool and borrowed scenery. Some of the greatest beauty is in the detail and finishing. Paving at the Katsura Palace. Like many traditional garden styles, plentiful labour is essential. Moss when it works, is wonderful. But very often it doesn't. Ryoanji - and its worshippers. Quite right...
