Kingsbrae Garden in charming St. Andrews

By Lorraine Flanigan Filed Under: New Brunswick

Kingsbrae operates a lovely café, tempting garden shop and a plant nursery.

From the moment I arrived at Kingsbrae Garden in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, my camera didn’t stop clicking.

Walking through the opening in the 10-foot (3-m) cedar hedge and into the perennial garden, my camera and I were … [Read more...] about Kingsbrae Garden in charming St. Andrews

In summer 2013, during … [Read more...] about Mosaïcultures is a hit at Montreal Botanical Garden

Mackenzie King Estate: The gardens of a national visionary

By Lorraine Flanigan Filed Under: Quebec

The view from the perennial borders to the Moorside residence.

As a young man, William Lyon Mackenzie King would ride his bicycle into the beautiful Gatineau Hills he grew to love. Located about 20 kilometres from Ottawa, it was here that King would eventually make his home. First in the modest four-room cottage known as Kingswood, then at Moorside, where he carved both home and gardens out of the Canadian Shield, and finally at The Farm, … [Read more...] about Mackenzie King Estate: The gardens of a national visionary
