Butchart Garden
One of the many places to see in and around Victoria is Butchart Gardens. They have billboards as far away as California's Central Valley. But if you're a gardener, it's definitely worth going.
 The Sunken Garden |
Probably the first thing you'll visit when you go to Butchart garden is the Sunken Garden. This is an old limestone quarry that Mrs. Butchart had converted into a dazzling display of color. Of all of Butchart, this is probably the most photographed. |
| Tucked away in the sunken garden one finds many private spaces, not frequently disturbed by visitors. This is just one of those; elsewhere you'll find a waterfall, a lily pond, and a small cottage. |

 An Arbor in the Rose Garden |
What garden would be complete without an arbor, and roses climbing all over it. Naturally, Butchart has just such a thing... and an entire rose garden to boot. Other parts of Butchart include the Japanese garden, the Italian garden, and even an amphitheater. If you come, definitely bring extra film. |
