An unexpected garden
Heading along the St. Lawrence River, on an afternoon excursion, we came across a historic estate and garden, Domaine Joly De Lotbiniere, near the small town of Lotbiniere.
The summer estate, built in 1851, served as a summer home for a prominent Quebec family for 5 generations (almost 200 years).
Today, it's a National Historic Site of Canada, operated by the Foundation supporting the estate.
The gardens were lovely.

Those gardens are wonderful! A nice mix of native plants and favorite garden perennials. The slope of the land is beautiful, too, and they did a nice job of planning the plantings around it.
