What Makes a Garden a Work of Art? Piet Oudolf Explains.

"There is a transcendent quality to the gardens of the Dutch designer Piet Oudolf, which overtake us with the sense that we have arrived at a place where we would like — and very much need — to spend more time. Drawn into the complex textural mosaic of muted colors, we can exhale. ... And yet, Mr. Oudolf is quick to point out, his work is the art and craft of garden making. It is not ecological landscape restoration. His medium is naturalistic, yes, but it is not nature. ...”

In his gardens, the Dutch landscape designer Piet Oudolf creates complex textural mosaics of muted colors. This one is at Hauser & Wirth Somerset, an international art gallery in South West England.
