For gardeners everywhere, the film is a tantalizing 75 minutes in which to lose yourself in one man’s vision and passion. But the project soon grew and ended up being shot over two years with a further year for editing. Piper’s original intention was to make a short piece about Hummelo. So it was a stroke of genius for filmmaker Thomas Piper to convince Oudolf to allow him to film his creative process, and what he has created in Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf is an elegant, poignant, and unprecedented glimpse into the 73-year-old designer’s world and thoughts. Revered and admired, the Dutch landscaper has become famous the world over for his breathtaking projects: from New York’s High Line to Hauser & Wirth’s sublime prairie garden in Somerset, England, to his private garden and test beds at Hummelo in his native Holland. If there’s a rock star garden designer worthy of a biopic, then Piet Oudolf is probably the one. Icon - Check Mark A check mark for checkbox buttons.
