(Virtual) Not Your Mother's Garden
Join Deborah Chud as she takes viewers on a photo tour of her own highly unusual, Oudolf-style garden and describe the design principles underlying it. Many of the plants are unfamiliar—even to experienced and knowledgeable gardeners. These “New Perennials” were all taken from Piet Oudolf’s canon of plants, and they exhibit the qualities valued by Oudolf and his fellow New Perennialists. What’s new about New Perennials and what can they do for you? Walk through Deborah’s garden with her to find out.
