2023 GARDEN TOUR
Garden Tour with a twist
This year we will be doing our garden tour on the Quebec side, at a very special domain. La Chasse-Gardée du Marais is located in Chelsea, nestled in the Gatineau hills. The gardens, created by Adrien Clavet and Réjean Lyrette and coached by some of the best known horticulturists, align human creation and natural elements. Featured in newspapers, magazines and TV shows, La Chasse-Gardée du Marais is a gardener’s paradise. We are privileged to be invited to visit this property.
