 Back in 1977 when we bought
the cottage on the wild hillside, we never dreamed that we would
be welcoming visitors from around the globe to our little corner
of the world. Visitors who were already coming to see Steven's
art were also amazed by the artist's garden. Encouraged by Provincial
tourism officials and a promise to include Crocker Hill in the
official guide to New Brunswick, we opened our garden to the
public in 1987.
For eleven years until it closed in 1997, prominent travel
guides including Frommers, Fodors and National Geographic guide
to Canada featured Crocker Hill as a tourism destination.
The following is a list of publications in which we have been
featured. There are numerous other stories done locally as well
as internationally that are not listed below. Additionally, Steven's
wide-ranging skill from stone carving to garden design have been
profiled nationally on CBC-TV's Midday and Discovery Channel's
Harrowsmith Country Life.
