Daily Garden: Pepsi Co’s Company Garden
At Pepsi HQ in NY, the employees have been given an area the size of 2 tennis courts to cultivate as they want in their breaks and time away from their desks. While searching for pictures of the patch (which I couldn’t find) I discovered something else. Seems Pepsi has long been a supporter of green endeavors at their corporate facility. The Donald M Kendall Sculpture Garden that surrounds the Head Quarters looks to be well worth a visit. It is 168 acres that are home to 45 major artworks by illustrious artists.

If you have the book Modern Landscape Architecture by Frankel and Johnson , you’ll find a substantial amount of info on this landscape.
The book is definitely worth having, a text book for grad students of landscape architecture.
Don’t know if it is still in print, but it is one of the text books that you are actually glad to have spent the money on.

I love that swoopy looking thing in the pond! And I’m not normally a fan of abstract art.
