| Garden Owner/Address | Description | Artist | Description |
1: Beth Kallestad
755 Lathrop Drive | Beth has been a research scientist. Water is a resource of special interest, evident in her attempts to catch and hold water.
| Allan Mattison | I concentrate on watercolors and acrylics to explore landscapes. Our world is one large garden |
2: Mark & Judy Code
912 Highland | This garden showcases shrub roses and David Austin roses, 15 varieties of clematis, spring wildflowers, a wisteria-covered pergola and a small vegetable garden with salad fixings and flowers for a Northfield Shares party | CraigSwenson | Wood carving keeps me busy designing and carving signage to fit individual interests |
3: All Saints Episcopal Church
419 Washington St | This rain garden was made possible through a grant with the Rice County Community Partners Conservation Sub-Grant Program | Karen Olseth | I have a series of painting themes: patterns in water, pathways-both architectural and natural, travels to Iceland and Ireland |
4: Bee-Butterfly-Dragonfly & Pergola Gardens, at Riverside/Lions Park
700 7th St E | Enjoy the Cannon River while seated under the pergola with hanging wisteria. Note the three unique raised-bed pollinator gardens, projects created by Northfield in Bloom through a Northfield Shares grant. | Joe May | I've found the most profound adventures follow stepping off with a single bag of gear and a camera. Encapsulated by water on all sides, Iceland is deeply connected to its elemental roots |
5: Elizabeth Olson
2412 Pepper Ridge Ct | Plants have been selected to preserve and conserve water. Note controls of water run-off: nine terraces, a berm in lowest corner, mini-rain garden, two rain barrels, and mulch. | Jen Wolcott | I put things in my garden to see if they work. I like steel-strong and quiet. I use simple geometric forms-they don't fight for attention waiting for winter to take center stage |
6: John & Carrie Duba
5525 Endwood Trail | One of Star Tribune's "six most beautiful gardens of 2015", it includes a prairie wildflower hill, cutting flower gardens, herb beds, raspberry bushes, resting spots with unimpeded views of the Cannon River Valley | Gail Gates
| Water. As a photographer, i am drawn to its energy, feel its power, and come away renewed. My digital creations are not meant to replicate nature's perfection, but to embrace the impression of emotion and wonderment. |
