Piet Oudolf, the Plant Pro Behind the Serpentine Pavilion's Garden

Earlier this week, we had a post up entitled “A Look Inside Peter Zumthor’s Serpentine Pavilion,” which referred to the now-open, annual, starchitect-designed temporary structure in London’s Hyde Park. In months prior, we’d also written posts entitled “Sneak Preview of Peter Zumthor’s Serpentine Pavilion” and “Peter Zumthor Next In Line to Design the Serpentine Pavilion.” The notable constant there, of course, is the repetition of Peter Zumthor’s name. He is the famous architect who designed the place, of course, but as anyone who has seen the space in person or simply read about and looked at it online, you’ll no doubt remember that the emphasis of the Pavilion is on the large garden, flanked by the architect’s modern walls.
