    Had a visit to Butchart Gardens, just 1/2 hour away. Been many times but hadn't been for a couple of years, although we do go to their shop for seeds. A few photos to show you.

    Utterly lovely! You must have enjoyed your stroll through the gardens, and we enjoy seeing it through your camera lens.

    So lovely! My family & I visited there several years ago. It was incredible. I remember there were buckets of umbrellas posted everywhere as it kept raining/drizzling on & off. Visitors would just pick up an umbrella when needed, then drop it off at the next bucket when not. Is it in the temperate rain forest?

    Thanks so much for this post - we were going to visit that part of Canada and see these beautiful gardens this summer, but discovered my son needed braces and our budget would not allow both. His teeth won.
    Well, maybe next summer....
