Butchart Gardens
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada


In 1904, Jenny Butchart began to beautify an old quarry site left behind from her husband's pioneering efforts in the manufacture of portland cement.  The Butchart Gardens, fifty-five acres of wonderful floral display, offers spectacular views as you stroll along meandering paths and expansive lawns. 

From the exquisite Sunken Garden to the charming Rose Garden, this constantly changing garden delights visitors from all over the world.

	Although we took many, many pictures, none matched the beauty of the gardens.
