A Labour of Love
1000 Islands and Rideau Canal Garden Trail
Beginning as a century farmstead, this country garden has evolved and now boasts a wrap-around front porch, a secluded Japanese inspired courtyard featuring a luscious pond and bubbling rock, and a large pool with ample seating areas. Beyond the courtyard lie expansive lawns, dazzling flowerbeds and a large greenhouse. A cedar arch leads to a large vegetable bed attractively laid out around a charming gazebo walled with stained glass panels. A second cedar arch leads to a large naturalized pond which is home to many goldfish, turtles and frogs. This beautifully landscaped park-like setting is a delightful surprise along a country road.
