Event Information
Description
Paul Sangha Lecture featuring influential Dutch garden designer and author, Piet Oudolf. Piet is a leading figure of the “New Perennial” movement, using bold drifts of herbaceous perennials and grasses which are chosen at least as much for their structure as for their flower colour. He has authored or co-authored eight books, including the most recent Planting: A New Perspective (Timber Press, 2013). Piet’s design projects includes the High Line and Battery Park in New York City. He is the designer of the interior garden of the 2011 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in London, in collaboration with the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor.
