We could happily watch a feature-length version of these videos. There are plenty of less studious moments too, where you can be mesmerized by the exquisite beauty of Oudolf’s garden.

At the end of each class you can send an optional assignment to your tutor for feedback and advice. You can dip in and out of classes, watching them at your own speed re-watch them if you want to.

Planting The Piet Oudolf Way, a course with Oudolf and his long-time collaborator Dr Noel Kingsbury, costs $195 and is one of many horticultural programs on offer, ranging from how to choose and care for roses with David Austin’s senior rosarian, Michael Marriott, to designing small gardens with designer Annie Guilfoyle. But this dream becomes a reality-albeit in a virtual sense-when you enroll at Learning With Experts, an online school where you can take courses with all manner of experts.
