"A great-grandson of Elsie Reford, creator of Les Jardins de Métis in Quebec, since 1995 Alexander Reford has stewarded a complete transformation of the Reford Gardens and its historic buildings.. In addition to positioning the garden as a leader in nature conservation in Canada, he co-founded the International Garden Festival, first held in 2000 and today considered one of the world’s premier garden design events. This past fall, the festival focused on the myriad ways in which sound impacts the experience of the garden, with collaborations by landscape architects and sound artists.
