World-renowned garden designer Piet Oudolf created the gardens of Calder Gardens as a living, dynamic landscape combining nature, art, and architecture. Embracing the full cycle of a plant’s life, the thoughtfully layered plantings and seasonal textures are managed to support ecology. Meandering paths and moments of quiet enclosure invite visitors to slow down, observe closely, and experience the garden as an ever-changing work of art.
The gardens showcase Piet Oudolf’s naturalistic style of layered drifts of bulbs, perennials, and grasses chosen for structure, movement, and beauty throughout all seasons.
