    I visited the Butchart Gardens, Victoria, Vancouver Island, Canada last year and really enjoyed it. The gardens was breathtaking. One of the best gardens I have ever visited, so thought I would share a few of my pics with youd-yy

    :thumb: Hi Tortmad, beautiful photos. They are beautiful gardens, I went there a few years ago now... They are beautifully planted & maintained.. We went at this time of year for the fall colours & we were not disappointed, the gardens looked stunning at that time of year too.....!!:thmb: You will love it Alis....:thmb:

    My cousin went there last year too and brought back a calendar of the gardens for us which we have in our dining room, like yours the pics are fantastic, we had to 'make do' with Golden Gate Park in SF this year:) but one day we might go to the west coast of Canada.
