Owen Sound, Ontario, Moreland Place, garden, waterfall, mill

Moreland Place garden, stone mansion, near Owen Sound. 102645 Grey Road 18 is marked only by a small sign: Garden, Open Every Day. The original 1919-built home is accompanied by an elegant stone mansion, built in 1984, but meant to look 18th-century. Statuary abounds. If in the area, do not miss this ‘secret’ garden, nor nearby Inglis Falls and the remains of its mill. Photo credit: Lisa Rance, October 2013
