\u00a9 Jason Ingram<\/i> <\/span>\n<\/div>\nThe garden of the modern art gallery,\u00a0 Hauser & Wirth<\/span><\/a>, is undoubtedly worth a trip in itself, especially for plant lovers. Created in 2014 by none other than\u00a0 Piet Oudolf<\/span><\/a>, the internationally renowned landscape designer, the garden at Hauser & Wirth is a sprawling splendour of soft perennials<\/a> and swaying seed heads<\/a>. Piet has created a scheme of bright green\u00a0Sesleria autumnalis<\/i>\u00a0interspersed with dark perennials, such as\u00a0Cimifuga brunette<\/i>,\u00a0Gilenia trifoliate<\/i>\u00a0and Astrantia \u2018Venice.\u2019 The plants are kept low, so you can enjoy the sculptures that feature also, most prominently, the Radi\u0107 Pavilion which was designed by the Chilean architect Smiljan Radi\u0107.<\/span><\/p>\n
