In the garden surrounding museum Voorlinden, renowned Dutch garden architect Piet Oudolf paints with flowers and plants. He created a garden that blooms in three seasons and remains worth seeing all year round. It is a work of art with over sixty species of perennials and ornamental grasses that is never finished, always evolving and which the Voorlinden gardeners keep up daily.
The sea of flowers is surrounded by lawns and grass hills, which emphasise the interplay between the various parterres. The gardens are visible from inside the museum as well as outside: a pleasant interplay between art, architecture and nature.
