"While the rocky seascape of Newfoundland and Labrador seems light years away from a lush landscape in Quebec's Eastern Townships, Pat Webster's work transcends these differences…. Her talk and her gardens stir the imagination to see colors, textures, plant groupings differently...Pat's warmth, enthusiasm, sense of humor and "big picture" vision make you want to rush out and create a landscape...anywhere."

Susan Sherk, Former Chair
Memorial University Botanical Garden
St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

 “A fascinating program, highly informative and visually compelling.”

"Gardeners are many, plant collectors are few, but garden makers are a rare breed indeed. Pat Webster is a garden maker and the garden she has created is a landscape unlike any I have visited. The layout is naturalistic but the site is permeated with history. The steady climb through woods and meadows is punctuated with stunning vistas, the discovery of hidden treasures and moments of pure delight."

Alexander Reford, Director

“After all, what is a garden for? It is for delight, for sweet solace, for the purest of human pleasures, the greatest refreshment of the spirits of men.” Pat Webster has applied Gertrude Jekyll’s comments to create a unique landscape. Working with a complex site, landscaped over 100 years ago, she has given it a contemporary interpretation, layering whimsy, art and history. Like the garden, her program refreshes and delights.”

Myke Hodgins, President
Canadian Society of Landscape Architects

"It is both a privilege and a pleasure to accompany Pat Webster on her tour of Glen Villa Gardens, a vast expanse of land that she has lovingly transformed into a unique landscape, where history, artistry and horticulture blend to create her own version of Eden."

Ann Charney, Author
Rousseau’s Garden

"The Websters have literally unearthed and 're-stor(i)ed' the history and beauty of a magnificent property. An inspiring and calming place to linger with one's own thoughts and honour others in this colourful, playful tribute to a long-loved homestead."
