Every year, late winter, Masterpiece Landscaping designers examine the cold hard cement floor of the Minneapolis Convention Center. Every year the floor is equally uninviting to anything beautiful and uplifting. Yet, every year these designers must create something memorable on 2,000 square feet of this cement; something which will show off their skills in designing and installing quality landscape garden settings.
What moods, what thoughts and memories can be created by the placement of certain things of certain forms with certain colors and sizes, textures and fragrances? The experts at Masterpiece would like you to answer this question by touring through the next several pictures of the landscape garden created on the Convention Center cement floor, March, 2009.
Two days later a deep clear pond is formed amidst an ancient limestone outcropping. A Japanese tree lilac grows from the edge of the slope to enframe the daffodils and shrub conifers, and gently shades the bench where you sit enjoying the cozy nook. This small window is a space of 150 square feet.
A Sonora path. Natural rock aged by wind and rain showing off form, shadow and texture. Perhaps this ensemble is even more beautiful in winter when the beige and chocolate shine through the white of freshly fallen snow.
Water trickling down a rivulet into a small pool stirring a restful sound. 
A sitting area in the middle of an Arizona pine forest. A garden room within the garden. Privacy from the toils of the outside world.
Is this path in your future?
Breakfast in the garden. Or is it lunch for two? Reading may become difficult here where there are so many beautiful things to see.
No plant beautiful in winter is less beautiful in summer. Today's landscape garden will never again be seen. A well planned winter garden can be as beautiful as a garden of any other season. The Earth can indeed be beautiful.
Let the experts at Masterpiece Landscaping Ltd. design, install, and maintain your Minnesota Garden of Eden.
