Eden landscape

About Eden landscape

The growing season in Brainerd is a sprint — a hundred-odd frost-free days wedged between a late freeze in May and an early one in September — and Eden landscape treats every one of them as borrowed. Lawns get mowed and tended while the tending is possible; grass, given that short northern summer, grows as if it knows the clock is running. Then the garden gate of the year swings shut, the first hard frost silvers the yards, and the crew turns to snow removal, keeping driveways and walks open through the long white months. There is a kind of faith in working land this far north: winter always comes, and the green always comes back. Eden here is not a place so much as a season, and it gets its full due.
