Visionary Gardeners

Episode 1

Pruning Things Back

Gardening legend Marjorie Harris has spent over fifty years tending the same plot of land while writing best-selling books and journalism on the subject. Now in her mid-80s, she's made the difficult decision to downsize and say farewell to her beloved home garden. She embarks on the next chapter of her life (and maybe even a new book!), gardening on a balcony twelve stories up in the air in downtown Toronto. John Thompson's design aesthetic originates from his many years spent in Japan, where he worked as a carpenter and studied gardens. He specializes in constructing serene pathways, stone stairs, and wooden structures with the perfect gardening views. He has designed gardens for many celebrities, often building them around places of meditation.
