Frank Cabot has created one of the most beautiful gardens in the world, Les Jardins de Quatre-Vents, in the historic area of La Malbaie (Murray Bay) in Quebec. Gardeners everywhere consider him to be the finest example of creating, changing and tending gardens for which his own 28 acre property forms a model. He has performed great services as a conservationist, horticulturist and philanthropist, always staying out of the limelight but contributing to the common good through his ideas of beauty and his remarkable commitment to growing things. His book, The Greater Perfection -- The Story of The Gardens at Les Quatre Vents, is a masterpiece of sensitivity to Canadian nature.
