\nHis radical planting is romantic, naturalistic and hugely influential, and is celebrated with a new RHS awardPiet Oudolf\u2019s landscapes are as peopled as they are planted. Folks flock to them,\u00a0whether it\u2019s the High Line in New\u00a0York, the meadows at Hauser & Wirth\u2019s art gallery in Somerset, or the Olympic Park in Stratford, to name a few. Many of his gardens may be in hip locations or attached to big-name architects, but\u00a0the reason people return again and again is\u00a0his\u00a0planting. His designs offer up something wild and alive. The plant combinations\u00a0are dynamic and playful: you are as likely to go and\u00a0admire decaying seed heads in winter as you are spring blossom. They rip up the flowerbed rule book and roll out, often over vast spaces. \u201cI like to escape some of the rules around gardening \u2013 to provide thought and spontaneity, and pleasure.\u201dIn many ways, he needs little introduction: there are Oudolf meadows up and down the country, from Scampston Hall and RHS Wisley to Trentham Gardens, all showcasing his complex, highly naturalistic schemes. Some of his earliest work can be found in\u00a0public parks in Sweden and the Lurie Garden in Chicago. Next month, Oudolf will be exhibiting at the Royal Horticultural\u00a0Society\u2019s Hampton Court flower show, where he is creating a walk-through feature \u2013 complete with favourites astilbe, schizachyrium and monarda \u2013 and receiving the inaugural RHS Horticultural Heroes accolade. \u201cEngland was the first country to appreciate my work and my approach to gardening,\u201d he says.
