You’re right though — I had a full-blown apotheosis in my visit to Hummelo that’s stayed with me ever since and deepened my appreciation of his work.

Through my travels, I came across the video of a Brit landscaper named Guy who spent a few months working at Hummelo as an RHS student. We’ve been in contact and his film is actually quite special, capturing yet more of the koan-like wisdom of Mr. Oudolf and giving lovely glimpses of his everchanging garden.

If you haven’t seen it, have a look:

Welcome, Tony. Yes, they seem to have taken it out of circulation recently — and even removed it from the site of the TV show it came from, of all nutty things! So sorry. I searched everywhere for a way to access it again, but as I say – it’s even missing from their own website. Sounds like you know how beautiful the place is.

I traveled to the Netherlands in Fall 09 to visit Piet Oudolf’s garden and ended up meeting him and creating the following photo essay that’s a pretty fine source of inspiration:
