Elsie Reford grew up in Montreal and enjoyed salmon fishing with her uncle on this property. Having no children, he left Estevan Lodge to his favorite niece. It's been over 50 years since she developed these gardens, and they contain specimens from all over the world, all named and grouped, including this kitchen garden. We meandered on the paths and came upon this art installation where the artist translated his belief that the Greek's took inspiration for their columns from trees.
