When: This weekend only, April 24 through April 26, until 11:59 p.m. What: Digital premiere of the film Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf And then come back and tell me what you thought of it. Oudolf has received many high profile commissions around the world, including working with Peter Zumthor on the Serpentine Gallery in London in 2011.I think gardening, and immersing oneself in a beautiful garden, saves a lot of us. Oudolf’s landscaping design continues around the buildings including the inner cloister courtyard, where the old buildings meet the new. A series of paths cut through the vegetation, inviting visitors to wander through the garden. With a new planting style and meticulous attention detail to the plants, Oudolf has forged the ability to break the rules when his eye finds it necessary to do so. The surrounding hedges provide a sense of enclosure, whilst the views of the hills and fields beyond remain visible. Considered a renegade in the landscape industry, the Dutch nurseryman Piet Oudolf (1944) has revolutionized the way perennial gardens are designed and viewed in landscapes today. Wide canopied trees have been planted between the gallery and garden to frame the view of the garden for visitors as they leave the buildings. Carefully shaped and planted, the garden echoes the tradition of classical gardens, but the variety of species and combination of plants creates a looseness, softening the formality of its appearance. Piet Oudolf, the internationally-renowned landscape designer from the Netherlands, has designed the landscaping scheme for the entire site, including Oudolf Field – a large perennial meadow to the north of the farmyard and new gallery buildings. Irena Czapska, Katy Chard, Libby Lloyd and Alex Higlett were the editioning team behind this large scale project. The print is a 4 colour separation screenprint, entitled Garden, Bruton. Measuring 60 x 111 cm, it is an edition of 100, printed on Heritage Rag.

Spike Print Studio has proudly editioned a Piet Oudolf drawing for the Hauser & Wirth garden in Somerset.
