Projects

Explore a selection of our recent landscape designs, ecological installations, and custom container arrangements. At Mindful Gardens, every project is rooted in sustainable, waterwise practices tailored to the unique environment of your space.

Regenerative Water Management

This work in process Cohasset project solves significant drainage issues using an engineered water management system. Featuring French drains and a rain garden pit, it utilizes deep-rooted Minnesota natives to beautifully capture and filter runoff.

Ecological Curb Appeal

We replaced traditional turf grass space with a sweeping, drought-tolerant garden. This waterwise design reduces lawn maintenance while providing vibrant, multi-season interest.

Woodland Edge Retreat

Bridging the gap between a manicured lawn and wild beauty. This design replaced underutilized turf with layered, ecological plantings and a meandering stone border to create a serene, restorative space.

Micro-Landscapes for Decks

We treat custom containers as miniature gardens. By blending striking textures and vibrant flora, these installations provide an instant, architectural elevation to your lakefront patios and outdoor living areas.

Spring Awakening Containers

Designed for the highly anticipated northern spring. These early-season installations utilize cold-hardy blooms and structural branches to provide an immediate, welcoming pop of color as the landscape thaws.

Four-Season Installations

True landscape design doesn't stop when the snow flies. Our resilient winter arrangements feature fresh-cut evergreens and red dogwood branches to bring life and structure to stark winter exteriors.
