This exhibition includes 52 contemporary and newly commissioned photographs of residential, civic, and commercial projects by Wolfgang Oehme (1930–2011) and James van Sweden (1935–2013). Oehme and van Sweden revolutionized landscape architecture with the creation of the New American Garden, a type of garden characterized by large swaths of grasses and fields of perennials. Their style celebrates the seasonal splendor of the American meadow while promoting its inherent ecological, sustainable, aesthetic, and ornamental values.

The New American Garden is a traveling exhibition by The Cultural Landscape Foundation.

Friday & Saturday, 11am–8pm; Sunday, noon–5pm
