A few weeks ago, Spouse and I spent a Saturday at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum with my parents.
This year they have a Secret Gardens Summer Exhibition, with 20 different designed spaces. There were two that really stood out for me.
One was called Magic Mirrors Mandalas, with different plantings in each quadrant. I thought this was the coolest of the secret gardens, and would be something that could be replicated at home. Below you can see the West and South plantings.
Here is the sign describing the exhibit (click to enlarge for easier reading).
Another exhibition garden used colored plexiglass in an unusual way. I didn't get the name of this garden, but I liked the idea of using color in an imaginative way. Below are the "front" and "back" of this garden.
I'll post more pictures from the Arboretum during this week.
