The ?EUR??,,????'?????<?Maze?EUR??,,????'?????<? Garden at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum (opened June 16, 2007) is a misnomer, albeit engaging, winding pathways. A maze, by definition, leads one down paths that abruptly stop, but a labyrinth, which this is, does not block you way, but leads you to the center.
William Frost, a Northfield, Minnesota labyrinth builder designed the Maze Garden. The labyrinth is bordered by pines and the paths lined with junipers, azaleas, lattice, bamboo and fabric walls. A lookout tower lets visitors see an overview, including a second, smaller maze designed for children with plastic tunnels.
As you walk from the Oswald Visitor Center to the Maze Garden you pass by grasses, herbs and roses. The Art to A-Maze Walk features 15 art installations that explore the relationship between humans and nature. The jury of artists and landscape architects led by Roger Martin, who founded the University of Minnesota?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s Department of Landscape Architecture, selected the artworks from 74 submissions.
The arboretum includes the Japanese Garden, Hosta Garden, Cloistered Garden and Perennial Garden. Beneath a massive oak is the children’s play area, aptly named “Under the Oak.”
The Maze Garden is open permanently and the Art to A-Maze Walk is open June 16 through September 30.
