Modern Twist on Traditional Craft



This is a dry stone feature that was built by Reid Snow from VRS Masonry and myself a couple of years back at Canada Blooms for Landscape Architect Ron Holbrook. Ron has a great aesthetic for meshing the use of the traditional craft of dry stone walling and modern landscape design. This was a great project to take part in and I think the finished product was pretty spectacular. I love how from the outside of the garden you were able to peer through the openings to see the secluded garden area that was cut off from the show with draping fabric. It sparked interest, luring people in to experience the effect of the whole garden space. The garden display won 'Best Overall Garden' that year and I'm happy to have had a hand in building it.
