As a narrative\ nthread\, the film also follows Oudolf as he designs and installs a major new\ngarden at Hauser &\; Wirth Somerset\, a gallery and arts center in \nSouthwest England\, a garden he considers his best work yet. Piet Oudolf has\nradically redefined what gardens can be.

Enjoy a glass of\n wine as you tour the exhibition with SVMoA’s curators. The mid-19th\ncen tury in the United States saw the emergence of a group of progressive\nthi nkers who advocated for a new understanding of the relationship between\nt he individual\, the divine and the natural world. Ralph Waldo Emerson\,\nH enry David Thoreau and Margaret Fuller\, among others\, came together in a \nshared belief in humanitarian causes and religious purpose.
\nTran scendentalism\, as their theological and philosophical ideas became\nknown \, embraced elements of Unitarianism and advocated for a personal\nknowled ge of God based in a rejection of materialism in favor of a\nspiritual exp erience of nature. In the U.S.\, Transcendentalism’s ideals\nfound their most famous embodiment in Thoreau’s retreat to Walden Pond\n(then belie ved to be bottomless)\, where he spent a year living in a small\,\nspare c abin\, focusing on the spiritual rewards of a life lived in harmony\nwith nature. This BIG IDEA project offers the notion that\nTranscendentalism’ s retreat from the material in favor of a spiritual or\ndivine encounter w ith the natural is an idea that continues to be\nrelevant—and one that i s perhaps more useful now than ever before.
