Landscape Garden Thoughts Best to Consider in our Northland February and Early March

Spring is not,  by calendar,  that far away from today's February  if you are a devoted landscape gardener.....in particular one who is devoted to express this love  as it classically is supposed to be......from one's soul.   Throughout the history of mankind, there are two 'far superior' spiritually-driven  artistic forms  of human  expression above all others....."Paradise from beautiful music....and paradise from beautiful Earth. Religiously....."One is closest to God..in the Garden," so truthfully discovered  by and...

Landscaped Gardening is Supposed to be an ART FORM

The human genesis  on the Earth of  our day  originally  'arrived' from a garden in our wonderful JudeoChristian religious teachings;  from  the  jungle in the more accurate scientific  vernacular.    This  we do know from the messages provided by genetics, geology, etc,etc.     It is amazing how accurately  the first chapters so artistically written in English of the King James Version of the JudeoChristian Bible fit the scientific understandings. There are many kinds of...

“There’s a Change in the Weather” arriving to your TC Landscape Garden Very Soon

I celebrate the year, 2015 in suburban Twin Cities, Minnesota,  as the most comfortable, the most gentle, , the most pleasing to garden plants of all shapes and sizes, and therefore, the most beautiful of my memorable lifetime,  well perhaps only seventy years of it.   Further, when it was decided to rain, the wetness was somehow 'professionally' timed to arrive gently and sufficiently around every third day totally free from  angry cloud bursts.  ...

The Big Four Essentials for Garden Plant “Happiness”…from Masterpiece experience

Sun, water, soil, and nutrients  are the basic essentials for healthy garden plant growth.....Once again:  SUN, WATER, SOIL, NUTRIENTS for plant and YOUR happiness!!! Sun:   Not all garden plants, either  woody or  herbaceous,  prefer full sun.   Others disdain deep shade.   Full sun might burn sensitive plants' leaves, turning them ugly brown or pathetic yellow.   Deep shade  advances diseases on wet leaves which are sensitive to rot.    Nearly every perennial plant,...

Thank you Masterpiece Fans and Friends for Your Loyalty and Friendship

There is something special about the character accompanying folks who beautify the Earth with beautiful grounds.   Few of the sixty plus  client visitors to our  past Thursday's Masterpiece Garden  Party  know one another.    The evening was heavy of air but fortunately,  without rain. Gardens draw  friendships together.   We all had a common bond .....to transform our grounds.  Conversations  and laughter  and addresses  were shared. Without question the garden  plant  of  Party talk...

When Should the Ideal Landscape Garden be at its Best?

When, at what season, does, should,  your landscape garden radiate its most inspiring  beauty? The answer is simple......Whenever you enter your Garden of Eden. I have lived at my grounds for over 40 years, long enough to be able to do,  genetically, mentally, physically, and culturally, what I was driven to do, planting and maintaining a beautiful  landscape garden  in some form or another. I have been very, very fortunate in life, and have many...

The Spring Gardened Grounds……Radiant Already (If you planned ahead)

Chionodoxa, Siberian Squill, Crocus, Puschkinia, Eranthis, the early tulips,  even certain Narcissus are all  bulbs in bloom as of this date in my grounds.  Most of the Snowdrops have already passed their time.  These  Dutch bulbs, as they are called, are sold by the bulb in September and October when they are planted for the coming season bloom.  Hyacinths, Ornithagalum  and most of the taller tulips and Narcissus  usually  arrive in bloom  two weeks or...

Too Much Lawn on your HOME GROUNDS?

There can be  no doubt that a well manicured  lawn  on one's outside home grounds  is as beautiful as a stunning Oriental Carpet is  on the inside of a person's domain.  Yet, if left alone in a vast room of nothing else, how winsome can they really ever  be if they lie  alone in their space? One carpet requires  great human effort to maintain its beauty, which actually includes another art form, the clipping  of the...

Another Masterpiece in St. Paul, Mn… …….

Today we live in an ugly moment in our human experience in which beauty of artform has disappeared. There are many causes for this, political, anti-religious, lack of education, learning, training, and practice. One does not matriculate into American universities these days to discover anything about beauty much less to learn how to achieve creating that which might be uplifting to the SOUL. "The blind cannot lead the blind", or "You can't milk a turnip",...
