Minister's Island's first gardener was William McQuoid, a local resident.
Beacon, May 24, 1894 - The head gardener, Mr. William McQuoid, for whom a near little cottage, embowered among the trees, has recently been erected, has had a busy season around the grounds. he has ploughed and harrowed and picked stones off a large piece of land to the north and west of the cottage, and has laid it out in beds. Asparagus, cucumbers, radishes, parsnips, cabbages, lettuce, celery, and a great deal of other "garden sass" have been planted in these beds, for are awaiting transplanting from the "hot-beds" alongside. Another patch of ground near by has been sown with oats and a bountiful crop is looked for. A large circle of ground in front of the cottage and another plot in the rear are reserved for flowering plants.
