Garden Film: "Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf"
Bellevue Botanical Garden, 12001 Main Street, WA
Revolutionary landscape designer Piet Oudolf is known for designing public works like New York City’s popular High Line and the Lurie Garden in Chicago’s Millennium Park. These spaces redefine our conception of gardens as works of art in themselves. This gorgeous, meditative documentary immerses viewers in Oudolf’s work, taking us inside his creative process. From his aesthetic theories to his strikingly abstract sketches to the ecological implications of his ideas, the film poetically reveals how Oudolf upends conventional notions of nature, public space and, ultimately, beauty itself. Film begins at 1 p.m. and is presented by the Northwest Perennial Alliance.
