Join Western Hortcultural Society on May 14th, 2025 6:30pm-9:30pm at Shoup Park

Join Western Horticultural Society on May 14th, 2025 6:30pm-9:30pm at Shoup Park's Garden House (in Los Altos, CA) for the sale of a variety of select plants (edible, rare, drought-tolerant, bonsai starts and more), glass & metal garden art and for a special movie,
The Gardener by filmmaker Sébastien Chabot.

Les Quatre Vents is a private garden nestled in the rolling hills of Quebec’s Charlevoix region,
Canada. Succulent lovers in the Bay Area are well aware of the magnificent Ruth Bancroft Gardens in Walnut Creek. Many of us also know that it is part of the Garden Conservancy. But
did you know that it was the very first garden saved by the Garden Conservancy, and that Frank Cabot was inspired by the Bancroft
garden to create the organization as a means to save the
garden?

Frank Cabot, born 1925, was instrumental in the creation (or rescue) of three world-famous gardens beyond the RBG: Stonecrop Gardens (63 acres) in Cold Spring, NY; a sixteenth-century garden in Carmarthenshire, Wales and most famous of all, Les Quatre Vents (20 acres).
