«Situated at the confluence of the Metis and the St. Lawrence rivers, Les Jardins de Métis sit high above the water's edge. Elsie Reford created these gardens at Estevan, the property she had been given by her uncle, George Stephen. She fished for salmon on the Metis river, making the trip from Montreal every summer. In the 1920's she began transforming her property into a garden. Gardening became the passion that ruled her life. Over more than thirty years she designed and developed a garden that is renowned for its imagination, its unique botanical collection and the careful integration of plants in a naturalistic setting.»
