Welcoming All to Connect With Nature

Four teak benches in a garden at Minnesota Landscape Arboretum

The University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum has worked with Country Casual Teak for more than 25 years. The Arboretum's original visitor center, the Leon C. Snyder Building, was designed by noted Minnesota architect Edwin Lundie. Its design echoes a European country manor, combining massive wood timbers and cathedral ceilings with earth-tone colors to create a warm, intimate setting.
