FORMALLY WILD - MINNEAPOLIS


PRIVATE CLIENT


This project consisted of an existing perennial garden that the owners wanted to update to give it some structure, striking more of a balance between formal and wild. The design we ultimately came up with called for the addition of gravel pathways lined with steel edging, and a gathering circle in the center in which to sit, relax, and listen to the hum and buzz of the pollinators darting in and out. Additionally, the design called for a reduction in the number of perennials in the landscape and the addition of grasses and shrubs so as to add greater year-round interest and lasting form to the garden.
