Keeper of The Dream

The Reford Garden (formerly Les Jardins de Métis) is one of Canada's most historic landscapes, thanks to both its creator, Elsie Reford, and her great-grandson, Alexander Reford. Although the gardens were sold to the Quebec government for a time after Elsie's death, the estate is now back in Reford hands, and it is thanks to Alexander's tenacity and background as a History professor, as well as Elsie's extensive archives that the family has been able to slowly restore the garden to its former glory.
