In 2011, Frank Cabot, consummate plantsman and the founder of the Garden Conservancy, produced a DVD with an illustrated talk about Quatre Vents, his acclaimed garden in Quebec. Set in rolling farmland between the shore of the St. Lawrence River and the boreal forest, the garden integrates the best gardening traditions and the splendid natural setting. The DVD shows how major elements of Quatre Vents, first established in the 1930s and 1950s, evolved under Frank’s stewardship during the last quarter of the twentieth century. It also serves as an animated counterpart to Frank’s handsome book, The Greater Perfection (Hortus Press, 2001).

The DVD is based on a popular talk Frank gave on the garden and is beautifully narrated by him. It is recorded in both French (46 minutes long) and English (43 minutes).
