Tea time at Fulford House brought us out to a verandah at the back of the house overlooking the St. Lawrence River, just outside the tea room (once the laundry room.) We sat down to pots of tea and a plate of one of their specialties, a soft lemon-flavoured cookie covered in pink icing and lemon zest, called Pink Ladies.
After fortifying ourselves, we thought a tour of the gardens might be in order. The fountain is without a doubt the focal point and centrepiece of the garden but there are also a variety of urns and statues. The original grounds were designed my Frederick Olmstead of the Olmstead landscaping firm that also designed Central Park in New York and Mount Royal in Montreal.
