Picture a log cabin, recently completely renovated, inside and out. Then picture a tall bearded gentleman who would look completely at home in a Paris cafe and you would see Tony Spencer.
The first time I met him at his home in Mono, Ontario, even though it was early Spring and the growing season was barely starting, Tony’s magnificent gardens were evident.
He is a planting designer and his gardens are his pallet. However, they are not your conventional gardens by any means. Tony follows the design dictates of Dutchman Piet Oudolf, with his own intuitive touches thrown in and the results are breathtaking.
