Sometimes a garden is so beloved that it becomes an integral stop on a neighbourhood walk, a sight that people can’t help remarking on and remembering.
This was true of a Toronto front garden that the owners believe was replanted sometime in the 1980s by the late Canadian landscape architect Lois Lister, a specialist in residential design who created dozens of gardens in the Rosedale and Forest Hill areas for the city’s movers and shakers. Lister had infused the garden with a dizzying assortment of colourful plantings. In the decade that followed, however, the plants outgrew the space, and the original design became totally overgrown.
