Where to see prairie style planting
- The Barbican garden by Nigel Dunnett
- Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park by Nigel Dunnett and James Hitchmough
- The Savill Garden
- Piet Oudolf’s garden at Hauser & Wirth, Somerset
- Sussex Prairie Garden
- The Merton Borders at Oxford Botanic Gardens
- Ralph Bristow’s “Barwite Garden” (take a virtual visit to Victoria, Australia)
This is why we love this style:
- Drought resistant
- Low maintenance
- Appeals to the senses
- Attractive to pollinators
- Autumn seedheads provide a source of food for native birds
- Creates a habitat for small mammals, frogs and toads
