Butchart Gardens

The Butchart Gardens covers more than 55 acres of a 130 acre estate.  Jennie Butchart started the gardens to beautify a worked-out quarry and has filled it with flowers, plants, shrubs and trees from Canada and from around the world.  Over a million visitors walk through the gardens every year.  These include a Sunken Garden, Japanese, Rose, Italian and Mediterranean gardens.  The pictures will speak to the beauty. (Don’t ask John if he liked it.  He came because he knew I would love it).
