LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS / COMPANIES

Each year Festival enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the display of life-size gardens designed by regionally acclaimed landscape architects and designers. This year you will find balance, as you gaze at a center zen garden that represents unspoiled nature viewed differently from many focal points throughout the show. Floral geisha and warrior masks sculpted by our area’s most talented designers combine varied elements of artistic style, planting, and water features. Certainly an inspiration for the home gardener.
