The Jardins de Métis was created from 1926 to 1958 by Elsie Reford, an avant-gardist planter and collector of rare plants. Some 3,000 species and varieties of plants, including the famous blue poppy of the Himalayas, are spread over some 15 gardens. Elsie Reford succeeded in adapting rare species to the Quebec climate. She, along with local farmers and tradespeople whom she trained, built a remarkable garden that is now a national historic site of Canada.Location: Centennial Hall, 288 Beaconsfield Blvd.
