Step through the gate…

A Season of kindred spirits, Canadian voices, and the enduring world of L.M.Montgomery

In the hush of ivy-covered walls and rose-draped gates, the past still whispers. This is Whispers at the Garden Gate™, a seasonal literary sanctuary & video library exploring the lives and landscapes behind your favorite classic and contemporary reads.

In Season Two, we step into the luminous world of L. M. Montgomery and the broader landscape of Canadian literature. From the beloved world of Anne of Green Gables to compelling historical fiction, our conversations explore how storytelling shapes identity, preserves heritage, and invites us to celebrate the power of the creative spirit. Join us as we open the gates to Canada’s enduring voices, where kindred spirits and timeless tales meet in the quiet wonder of imagination.
