Most botanical display gardens excel at traditional design, showcasing timeless structures like geometric layouts, harmonious planting schemes and beautifully curated focal points. These extraordinary spaces typically reflect distinct historical styles. Reford Gardens in Grand-Métis Quebec, for instance, is an outstanding example of a grand, early 20th-century, English estate.
The splendid Tour des Arts was a highlight of my recent road trip to Quebec Canada. This annual artist studio tour is based in the Cantons-de l’Est (the Eastern Townships) ― a beautiful rural area with rolling hills and shining lakes southeast of Montréal.
In the previous episode of Postcards from Quebec, we traveled from Edmundston, New Brunswick to Ferme-Neuve, Quebec. This week, we resume our road trip in Montréal.
Bonjour from Quebec! This week’s post is a brief update from my current road trip to the province of Quebec, Canada. It’s primarily photos with a little context ― the abbreviated format allows me to share this adventure while its underway.
Who doesn’t love a good road trip? Especially when you’ve done the homework and mapped out the ideal itinerary — one that balances the must-sees with a little “let’s-just-see-what-happens”.

Summer at last! Time to revel in a bouquet of Mother Nature’s natural fragrances. Blooming flowers, ripening fruit, sea breezes, fresh-cut grass ― enjoy all the smells!
