I'm not sure whether it will continue to open to the public since Frank Cabot died this year, but if the family does continue, the gardens are absolutely worth a trip if you're in eastern Canada.balsamfirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347379810451503618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453240984293111218.post-87807479018125382452011-05-08T19:49:12.474+01:002011-05-08T19:49:12.474+01:00I love the top garden..

We visited one cold April day a good few years ago but I would like to go back in summer. This garden has a beautiful rock garden but the other outstanding feature I remember is a zig-zag herbaceous border either side of the main path. It was just a selection of dead plants with a red tulips in clumps all the way up, in April, with the zig-zag marked by the path. I was really taken with this and can imagine how usual and beautiful it must look in full flower. This is both a historic and modern garden with some lovely features.<br /><br />Sorry about the long comment! I will let you know if I remember where I have seen other Moongates.

As I recall, they were a common garden feature, not something reserved for great estates or public gardens.

I don't know of any myself, perhaps moongating is not so popular in Australia? Perhaps I could start a trend? What are the rules for the moongate, do you know?Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072118694728610270noreply@blogger.com
