The North Bay Heritage Gardeners will be hosting a free Education Night on Thursday November 9.

The North Bay Heritage Gardeners November Education Night presents a special screening of the movie, The Gardener by filmmaker Sébestien Chabot about Frank Cabot’s beautiful estate in Charlevoix, Quebec.

“The Gardener is a documentary reflecting on the meaning of gardening and its impact on our lives."

Shortly before his passing at the age of 86, influential gardener and horticulturalist Frank Cabot recounts his personal quest for perfection at Les Quatre Vents, his 20 acres English style garden and summer estate.

Nestled amongst the rolling hills of the Charlevoix County in Quebec, Les Quatre Vents has become one of the world’s foremost private gardens. Created over three generations, it is an enchanted place of beauty and surprise, a horticultural masterpiece of the 21st century.

Through the words of Cabot and his family, and with the participation of gardening experts and writers, the lm looks back at this remarkable man’s personal story and the artistic philosophy that gave birth to one of the greatest gardens in the world.”
