Four days Art and Gardens Tour
Visit the Dutch Baroque Palace of Het Loo – considered by William and Mary as their favourite country palace. At the time of its building the house and garden were regarded as a single unit with patterns used inside the palace repeated in the garden. Meticulously restored and reopened in 1984 to the public it is a joy to wander through the intimate rooms that were so recently home to Queen Wilhelmina.
Piet Oudolf, the influential Dutch garden designer, takes his inspiration from nature, art and time. The private garden & Nursery of Anja and Piet Ouldorf are best seen in the autumn when the grasses are high and seed heads are beginning to form on herbaceous plants. Bring a plant carry bag with you – you are sure to be tempted to buy some plants from Anja’s nursery!
