Q. Please provide a list of plants, used in the "Seasonal Walk" garden.
If the list proves to be too extensive to exhaustively detail, then kindly provide a more brief list, to cover plantings for all four seasons. Thank you.
Answer
The Seasonal Walk, redesigned in 2014, celebrates the ephemeral beauty of plants, which is a central tenet of the work of Dutch garden designer Piet Oudolf. This double border features a wide array of perennials, grasses, and bulbs selected for their interesting shape, structure, and color in every stage of growth throughout the year.
Below, we have a list of the plants used in that seasonal garden by Piet Oudolf. Hope it helps with your garden.
