We were there when they were planting them in February and visited a couple of weeks ago and the growth has been so spectacular. Come next year all those larger grasses will add even more variety. Just beautiful.
Many years ago we visited Wisley and the border was most disappointing. Beds of stubble and a lime green manhole in the middle of the grass. Underwhelmed indeed. This new take looks promising.
Usual perennialist planting. Really quite boring these days. Massive use of virgin aggregates to reduce maintenance requirements and change soil. It’s boomer planting/gardening and completely tone deaf to environmental impact of this style of commercial planting. I for one look forward to when we wake up from this style of tedious perennial planting same plant any place.
Interesting perspective. I'm very excited to see what the next generation of designers do, perhaps taking some of the visual leads from this kind of planting (and if nothing else, leaning into the widespread appreciation of more naturalistic planting, that Oudolf must be credited with) and adding layers of environmental integrity. Exciting times ahead!
Beautiful. A painter’s dream❤🇨🇦
Can't find this kind of commentary anywhere else, just wonderful
Such an interesting interpretation of these borders - I visited a couple of days ago, and agree that they are transformed - and transformational.
Thank you for your excellent explanation
So happy you’ve shown this to us, excellent commentary.

So excited to get a look at the new borders. Thank you
Enjoyed the video.
Such great content, it's amazing to see these gardens from the couch 😅 thank you!
