Description

Before it was once restored, the High Line was once an untouched, abandoned landscape overgrown with wildflowers. Today it is a lot more than that; it’s a central plaza, a cultural center, a walkway, and a green retreat in a bustling city that may be free for all to enjoy. But above all else, this is a beautiful, dynamic garden with plantings designed by Piet Oudolf, one of the most world’s most odd garden designers. Gardens of the High Line, by Piet Oudolf and Rick Darke, offers an in-depth view into the planting designs, plant palette, and maintenance of this landmark achievement. It reveals a four-season garden that may be filled with native and exotic plants, drought-tol­erant perennials, and grasses that thrive and spread. It also offers inspiration and advice to home gardeners and garden designers having a look to recreate its iconic, naturalistic style. Featuring stunning photographs by Rick Darke and an introduction by Robert Hammond, the founder of the Friends of the High Line, this large-trim, photo-driven book is a will have to-have for any person who appreciates the nature of design.
