Jardins de Métis / Reford Gardens

Bas-Saint-Laurent, Canada, Québec, Travel

With pandemic restrictions starting to loosen up across Canada we decided to take our summer vacation close-ish to home still. Since it’s still not a normal summer we decided just to do a small trip and to try to remain outside as much as possible. What better place to do that than a beautiful garden. I’ve wanted to visit the Jardins de Métis / Reford Gardens in Québec’s Bas-Saint-Laurent region for a long time so we decided to basically plan a little trip around visiting it.

Spring in Ottawa

Ottawa, Photography

With most things still closed in Ottawa this spring due to the pandemic I tried to enjoy spending time outside, which for me means photographing all the flowers. So here are some shots of spring in Ottawa.

Maplelawn Garden

Ottawa

Maplelawn Gardens is a 19th century walled garden in the neighbourhood of Westboro in Ottawa. It’s one of the hidden gems of the city and a rare example of a European walled garden in Canada that some houses used to have.
