Inspirational Ideas from Innisfree Garden

Design, Glen Villa, Plants, TravelPar Patterson Websternovembre 19, 20222 Commentaires

A few weeks ago I visited Innisfree, a wonderful garden in Millbrook, New York which I first visited fifteen years ago. Unless my memory is out of whack, the garden hasn’t changed significantly since then, but I have. In the intervening years, I’ve visited hundreds of gardens around the world, and as I entered Innisfree,…

My Field of Dreams

Design, Glen Villa, PlantsPar Patterson Websteraoût 22, 20223 Commentaires

La Seigneurie is part of Timelines, the trail at Glen Villa Art Garden that explores ideas about history, memory and our relationship to the land. Choosing the route wasn’t easy: there were many choices. I knew, though, that Timelines had to explore the terrain on both sides of the road that runs between our neighbouring…

Flowers and Vegetables at the Reford Gardens

Design, Plants, ReviewsPar Patterson Websteraoût 10, 20225 Commentaires

When I was a girl, you grew flowers in a flower garden, vegetables in a vegetable garden. Never the twain did meet — at least not if you were in tune with fashions of the day. But there is a long history of growing companion crops, and today flowers and vegetables are often grown together,…

Out with the Old

Design, Glen Villa, PlantsPar Patterson Websterjuin 13, 20224 Commentaires

For many years a large spruce tree stood at the top of the steps to our front door. We decorated it with lights every Christmas, turning the tree into a celebration of the season. On winter days when all was white, its dark green needles added a welcome touch of colour. I don’t have a…

Levens Hall

Art, Design, Plants, Reviews, TravelPar Patterson Websterjuin 6, 20229 Commentaires

What a wonderful thing it is to fulfill a life-time ambition! I’ve wanted to visit Levens Hall since the early 1960s. That summer, a young English girl arrived in Virginia to spend a year living with me and my family and, as a gift, she brought us a book about English gardens. On the cover…

Goals for a New Year

Art, Design, Glen Villa, PlantsPar glenadmindécembre 31, 20217 Commentaires

When I look out my bedroom window, this is what I see. Or what I will see before long. Lake Massawippi isn’t frozen yet, but frozen or not, the prospect reminds me that this is the time of year to look ahead.     And to look back. What did I accomplish in the garden…

Shrubs and Deer Fences

Design, Glen Villa, PlantsPar glenadminnovembre 5, 20216 Commentaires

Shrubs are a key element at Glen Villa Art Garden, my garden in North Hatley, Quebec. Unfortunately deer like shrubs as much as I do. So when I decided to plant shrubs in an old farm field to add seasonal colour and to block a view of the road, I knew I needed a fence.…
