Expert Tour: Oudolf Garten with Gardener Wolfgang Müller

SPECIAL TOUR (DE) | 18 July 2024 

6 pm, VitraHaus

The variegated plants and flowers in the Oudolf Garten on the Vitra Campus are an inspiration for planning a perennial garden of one’s own. Dutch garden designer Piet Oudolf relies on perennial, often self-propagating plants, grasses, and shrubs as well as wildflowers that have long been ignored by gardeners. On this guided tour, Gardener Wolfgang Müller explains how the garden’s unconventional design matches the innovative choice of plants. He talks about developing and caring for the garden and gives helpful hints for planning one’s own garden.
