This is Scampston Hall Gardens in North Yorkshire. Designed by Piet Oudolf
If you really want to experience this specific element of Scampston, then take some time to sit in these incredibly comfortable chairs. They enabled me to physically and emotionally immerse myself within the perennial grass garden and watch the autumnal light filter through the golden hue of Molina caerula ssp caerula’ Poul Peterson’ . I really could have sat for a very long while. I had to remind myself that I was there to see all the interconnected garden rooms.
My aim with these images is to express the beauty of this inspirational garden. Form, texture and structure of the planting as in all Piet Oudolf’s designs is chosen over the plants flowering capacity. As Scampston heads towards late autumn, the structure of the soft landscaping is superlative.
