Here's what the Lurie Garden in Millennium Park looked like this past September when I led a garden tour there to explore some of Piet Oudolf's perennial installations and what they can teach us. It's been a great laboratory for many of us as the garden [also designed by landscape architect, Kathryn Gustafson and light & set designer, Robert Israel] has had to deal with a number of the challenges that face gardeners in this region: extreme weather, increased wildlife, crappy soil.
To see and hear a few of the things I have noticed, please attend my favorite group gathering, the Wicker Park Garden Club next Monday, February 7th at 7 pm. As part of their lecture series, my topic will be: "Piet Oudolf's Influences and Those He Influenced." You need to register first.

There was a nice interview with Piet about gardens in winter in today's NY Times which you should be able to find on-line.
Yes, excellent interview and very timely for the design class I taught on 2/12 that focused on traits beyond bloom.
