FREE – Design Open Studios
March 22, 2010
To celebrate 25 years in business, Phillips Garden will be hosting two FREE Open Studios on Saturday, April 10th, and Saturday, April 24th from 11am until 2pm. These Open Studios are a great opportunity to bring your questions, photos and measurements to the designers and horticulturists at Phillips Garden to receive great advice for your home landscape. If you are considering a landscape project, this is a perfect way to test the waters and get some fresh ideas from experts in horticulture and design with over 75 years of collective experience.
This is also a great opportunity to see and experience our award winning design studio and the first ever rooftop weeHouse.
Half-hour bookings will be taken on a first-come, first-serve basis. Call ahead to get on the schedule. Walk-in clients will be helped as time permits.

Lunaform Fountain
June 17, 2009
I stopped by this project a couple of days ago. We installed this last summer and it’s sure looking nice. It was a great transformation of a small space in the Lowry Hill area. We got rid of all the grass and created a Bluestone patio. The focal point of this space is the Lumaform fountain set in the center of a Carpinus bosque with a ground cover of sedum. Lunaform is located in coastal Maine where they hand-make planters and urns. Each is custom made with a wide range of color and finish choices. And as you see here most can be made into a fountain. We enjoy incorporating them into our spaces.
Brasa II Update
June 11, 2009
We got Brasa II all planted up. It’s sure going to be fun to watch these gardens mature. Be sure to stop by to see the gardens and grab some food, of course.
Brasa II – St. Paul
June 5, 2009
It’s fun to do commercial projects once in a while but this one is especially cool. Alex Roberts is set to open a new Brasa on Grand Ave in St Paul. If you haven’t been to his Minneapolis location you are missing out. The food is amazing and Alex is a great guy.
We are in the process of getting the beds around the parking lot ready for plantings. This involves removing compacted gravel, old concrete post footings and loosening compacted soil. This is a critial part of the installation process and will determine the success of the planting. Real. Beautiful. Spaces or parking lots start with good soil prep. Stay tuned for finished photos in the next week and be sure to go get some great food at Brasa.
