I took my lovely wife here for our 25th wedding anniversary to Butchart Gardens. Here one will experience fifty-five acres of wonderful floral display, offering spectacular views as you stroll along meandering paths and expansive lawns. In 1904, Jennie Butchart began to beautify a worked-out quarry site left behind from her husband's pioneering efforts in the manufacture of Portland cement at Tod Inlet, Vancouver Island, Canada. Her venture has become a family commitment to horticulture and hospitality spanning over 100 years, and delighting visitors from all over the world. From the exquisite Sunken Garden to the charming Rose Garden, this show garden still maintains the gracious traditions, in one of the loveliest corners in the world.
The Gardens were designated in 2004 as a National Historic Site of Canada.
God's best,

The lovely sunny day makes the garden look even better. Stunning colours Tim, and the flowers are beautiful. I like your composition overlooking the front garden to the lawn and gardens beyond. Nice one!

Very nice view. I've been there several times, but not lately. Congratulations on the 25th Anniversary. For me, it's been 10 years since I've met my wife and took her there on our first trip.
Cheers
