Stroll in Butchart Gardens
Top 9 in Top 16 Best Things to Do in Canada
Visit the Butchart Gardens, a Canadian National Historic Site that was established back in 2004, if you want some quiet time away from the bustle and commotion of the frenetic metropolis. Themed gardens allow you to meander through them while taking in the gorgeous fountains and exotic vegetation.
The Japanese Garden, the Rose Garden, the Sunken Garden, the Mediterranean Garden, and the Italian Garden are just a few of the well-known gardens where you may take leisurely strolls and capture some fantastic pictures.
Although Butchart Gardens is open all year round, it is recommended that people attend in the summer months of July and August to really experience its splendor. Downloading their Map & Guide, which is available in 22 languages and provides a brief history as well as descriptions of the five gardens, is a good idea before going. Three eateries, a seed and gift shop, and a plant identification counter with knowledgeable staff members are all present. Dog leashes, umbrellas, strollers, and wheelchairs are all available for loan at the visitor center.
