The Butchart Gardens Vancouver Island

One woman’s vision forever transformed our notion of a garden. With a former quarry as a canvas, Jennie Butchart envisioned transforming this space into a beautiful garden haven, overflowing with lush greens and colourful blooms. The result of her vision is The Gardens, which are still family run to this day.
