A thoughtful collaboration between Stahl Architects and Land Elements produces a landscape that celebrates old and new, in Fargo, North Dakota.  
Our slide show tour of this amazing house and garden in Fargo, North Dakota, designed by Stahl Architects and Land Elements, which was inspired by the work of Josef Albers and the native grasses that grow in the prairie that surrounds the property. Lots of web-only photos!
“We don’t call them ‘controlled burns,’” says Steve Glass at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum, “because you can’t really control a fire, only contain it.” Fire can be a boon for meadows and prairies, improving soil quality and growing conditions for native grasses and forbs. We take a look at Longwood Gardens and a prairie managed by the U.S. Army at Fort Lewis in Washington State and why they welcome fire on their lands.
