For the past few years, we’ve opened Glen Villa Art Garden to the general public on Open Garden Days. This has been extremely rewarding for me personally. It gave me a chance to meet and talk with so many people: old friends and new, visitors to the area, neighbours, fellow gardeners, artists, young and old. We talked about plants, garden design, or whatever was on our minds. We shared ideas and I learned so much from the exchange.
One group last summer included Hillary Clinton and some of her good friends.
A son, a granddaughter and I hiked one of the trails built by the Massawippi Foundation last fall, when the snow was not very deep. It was a wonderful experience on a crisp day.
This group from NIP, an outstanding firm of Montreal landscape architects, visited the garden a few years ago. Talk about learning from others — this group was inspirational!
