Art in the Minnesota Garden

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Kirby Fine Homes

While viewing various landscapes of area homes in Prior Lake this weekend for the Pond and Landscape Tour, I ran into a couple who sprinkled their landscape with art they produce on site.

Called Artscape Lighting, they design beautiful floral sculptures which house lighting for ponds, walking paths, fences, etc. The one pictured above is a fountain into the swimming pond they built. Check out their website for more designs. They have developed a great way to camouflage lighting and make the garden more appealing!

Talking to the owner, she mentioned that the lights are also great for winter landscaping. They can survive the harsh Minnesota winters, especially snowing ones. Not only are they "flowers" in the garden when nothing is alive, they also give great ambient light in the evening and on snow.

Jennifer--What a beautiful way to enhance a backyard pond! I love this! I have never gone to the Pond and Landscape Tour in the Twin Cities but it looks like something to check into. What a great way to incorporate art and nature.

Teri- sorry I haven't commented back, we have been busy this week looking at new construction homes. I try and check out the various home tours when they come up to keep ahead of what's hot and new.
