Henk Gerritsen - Essay on Gardening
foreword - Piet Oudolf


Gerritsen started designing the Dutch Priona gardens
in 1978 which are open to the public. From 1995 on
he designed a wild flowers garden at Waltham Place,
near London. Henk Gerritsen is internationally wellknown
as the writer of the first Piet Oudolf books,
translated in many languages and as designer of
gardens in several countries. Playing chess with nature
however is not a game between well-matched
opponents. Nature is much more powerful than
man. Thinking ahead is not sufficient; nature is an
unpredictable opponent, who may come forward with
moves that no man could have foreseen.
