We at Masterpiece are going to have a special day this coming Saturday, September 18th starting at 2:00 PM at our home landscape garden. And I am going to be on the schedule to share some observations about the most honored art form of them all, the gardened landscape.
We are celebrating Client Appreciation Day at our Minnetonka home landscape garden, 14624 Woodhill Terrace. Prizes and refreshments will be part of the program. But the main event will be walking through the grounds and learning about some of the tricks of the trade.
Landscape gardening is a visual art form. And the eye is easy to attract, cause feelings and memory, curiosity and pleasure. The eye is also easy to fool…….to make something appear to be more or less than it is, to cause one to turn right rather than left, to look in one direction rather than another.
Gardens, like people, gain character with age. With this age, I am so pleased to add that our landscape garden was one of the six 2010 winners of the Minneapolis Star and Tribune’s Most Beautiful Garden Contest. Pictures and details of the grounds will be coming in the Home Garden section of the paper sometime late fall or early winter.
Friends and clients, Marian and Larry Fischer of Waseca and Sunny Schneiderhan of Minneapolis, also have been honored by the Star-Tribune for the outstanding beauty of their landscape gardens. Other home landscapes of clients/friends, Claude and Laurel Riedel in Minneapolis, and Meg Devine and Ian Grunberg in Mendota Heights have received recognition from other sources.
Bring your questions and your observations for discussion. And bring your friends and neighbors.
