Product Description
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 almost 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 of the past, in one of the loveliest corners in the world. Some of the images are: * Butchart Residence * Dahlia Border * Italian Garden * Japanese Garden * Frog Fountain * and so much more In 2004, during their 100th anniversary, the Butchart Gardens, still family owned, became a National Historic Site of Canada.
