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.
