Garden festival featuring an array of noted landscape designers opened today
Eventually Cornerstone will have 28 to 30 gardens with each remaining one or two years. "It will be like a museum with temporary exhibits," Hougie said. Cornerstone features cutting-edge design, "the kind that may or may not be suitable for home gardens" but that will challenge people to think, he said. Intended to appeal to both gardeners and artists, "it's a place to be inspired. You won't see the ordinary."Link: Cornerstone Festival of Gardens

The festival is the pet project of Chris Hougie who has a love for landscape design and the resources to pull off a project of this scale. It made me think of a discussion going on over at Archinect about Brad Pitt's architecture fetish... too bad Brad doesn't use his fame and fortune to produce something profile-raising like this.
