Barry Cox is not only a devout Catholic, he’s also an amazingly talented artist and designer. As a little boy, the New Zealand native served as an altar boy and even had dreamed of being the Pope one day. However, as he grew older, he found his calling in gardening. Barry started a gardening company, but wait until you the work that he does. It’s truly one-of-a-kind.
You see, Barry has combined his strong faith with his creative talents to create something truly astonishing.
When he was younger, Barry spent a lot of his time traveling and touring the world. He had a special love for visiting the famous churches all across the globe. From Notre Dame to St. Paul’s Cathedral, Barry has seen it all, and it’s obvious that these historical cathedrals have influenced his work.
Barry created a living cathedral on three acres of lush green lawns. Using some of the most beautiful trees in the world, Barry’s company, Treelocations, created a wonderful masterpiece to behold. He used a powerful hydraulic spade to uproot and replant matures trees on the property. It took him 4 years to create this.
The entrance to the cathedral is warm and friendly. It’s very welcoming. Take a look at the traditional roof that uses lush, natural materials.
The iron frame gives the church a classic shape. The ceiling consists of Laciniata trees, and the walls are built from Leptospernum trees which provide a dark rich color.
The interior of the church is great for natural light as sunlight shines through the canopy. This eliminates any need for electric lighting. The altar is made from imported Italian marble.
The stunning landscape of the grounds is truly what pushes this already impressive church over the top. With a brilliant use of flowers, decorative hedges, and trails, the property alone is a sight worth seeing.
He even constructed a “Labyrinth Maze.”
No matter where you are on the property, you get a beautiful sight.
Barry created the garden for his own pleasure, but it’s been frequently used as a dream destination for weddings and other large events.
