Very beautiful garden indeed !

I went there two days ago<3
If you want to see a different garden than Burchart and Glendale, please check up Jardin de Metis. It is a very charming and natural style garden, full of streams and slopes that show the best plant combination. It is like having a walk in the mountain at times. One of the books I read lists it as one of the best gardens on the east side of Canada, besides the Montreal Botanical Garden. It is worth visiting, especially for people who like blue poppies. It is 7 hours of drive from Montreal.
I hope you enjoyed it Gregory! Its a place that I will return to many times over, even on dull days.
Thanks for the tip…I’m heading there on the 26th!
Yes, Buchart is beautiful, but soooo MANY people go there. Glendale Gardens is very close to Buchart and much more peaceful, its run by volunteers and is a secret place known mostly just to locals. Well worth the visit! Check out my tube.
Just type in Glendale Gardens Victoria BC Canada. You will see what the community spirit can do! In the beginning you will see a few words typed then right into some beautiful pictures with monks chanting in the background!
A peaceful place – serene!
i didnt see any fireworks
you said you had the same bus driver. wasn’t that the one where after the fireworks show you were dropped off at the cruise terminal?
It is just mesmerizing beautiful… Thank you for sharing it with the world… Salud!
WE HAD THE SAME BUS DRIVER
17 dollars is not a bad price to visit one of the best botanical gardens in the world….trust me…I have seen alot of them.
Hello kirkygirl – Your honesty is greatly appreciated. It is not easy to get such an honest opinion from people of “The City of Denial”. I was a tour bus driver for Wilson’s Transportation, and took many bus loads of tourists in Butchart. No matter how many thousands of tourists we brought there, they treated us drivers like crap. “Here is a coffee and a donut”, “please go back and sit in your bus”. We couldn’t get something as simple as a hot dog from that operation.
Thanks again.
Yes, there are lots of people who smuggle out flowers…. >:D
No of course not! This was actually one of the lawns that “Pim” Butchart probably used for tennis or something of the like.
Yeah, having worked there, some of the kids CAN be kinda snotty and stupid, but for some of them, it’s their first job (incl. me). The management isn’t really all that great, and it’s a stressful job to run a bunch of kids who have no clue what they’re doing. It doesn’t help that senior management is breathing down your boss’ back, trying to make sure everything is “perfect”.
Between the high price of the ferries, and Butcharts high addmission prices, most people from Vancouver can’t even afford to go to Butchart for the day. I found the children operating Butchart gardens to be a bit unprofessional, considering the ultra high price of addmission. I would never go there again. I think the residents of the island get in for less, but tourists are ripped off with the high addmission price.
No of course its not true, i went and although i didn’t dare touch a flower, the people who worked there all seemed very fun and happy and i went to their amazing gift store and everyone was so helpful. and they have amazing stuff in their its a beautiful place
i went there the bus said that the empty field at the entrance were the buried people who dared to pick a flower do you think this is true? i don’t believe in everything but its just for curiosity
