Piet Oudolf, the internationally-renowned Dutch landscape designer, has created the landscaping scheme for Hauser & Wirth Somerset, including the Oudolf Field – a large perennial meadow situated behind the gallery 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. Known for his use of plants with spectacular seed heads, Oudolf has created a garden that has interest year round.

Five acclaimed artist-makers have originated new multidisciplinary works in response to the Oudolf Field at Hauser & Wirth Somerset. The works presented evoke the immersive experience of the garden, drawing upon Oudolf’s philosophy that rather than copying nature, the intention is to create a feeling, deepening our connection with its seasons and cycles.
