| dc.description.abstract | Western Minnesota and especially North Dakota are areas with little variation in their
landscapes. These areas (on average) can be categorized as flat and with a few rolling hills in
western North Dakota and in western Minnesota. The Red River Valley is considered to be the best
farm land in practically the whole country, but to visitors it is just the wide open plains. That is
where the idea of an arboretum can come into play. It is a way to enhance and develop an area once
thought of as plain into an area of interest and a way to set a standard for new, revitalized
landscapes. By providing this area with a year round garden center and arboretum it will be the
first step in making this region a focal point for the idea of landscape. By tying an arboretum into a
garden center setting will also bring pedestrian traffic in from around the region to visually
experience and perceive the different seasons. This is also a way to bring revenue into the garden
center by enticing visitors to bring a piece of the landscape home with them and incorporate into
their own gardens. | en_US |
