SHANGRALA'S

BUTCHART GARDENS!

Visitors to Victoria will find that the famous destination of Butchart Gardens in Canada lives up to all of the fuss. Located in Victoria, Butchart Garden is a must-see for horticultural lovers on a Vancouver Island vacation. Even if you don't know a rose from a dandelion, Butchart Garden is sure to impress. The Gardens were selected as a National Historic Site of Canada in 2004. Every year, about half a million visitors make their way through the Buchart Gardens, which includes 700 different species and more than a million plants.       The Butchart Gardens began as just a regular garden in Canada, by Jenny wife of mine owner and pioneer of a cement company, Robert Butchart. The limestone quarry near their home had been exhausted, so Jenny set to covering the quarry with what is now the Sunken Garden. In 1904, the Sunken Garden was open to public display. A Rose Garden, Italian Garden and Japanese Garden were eventually added. As one Butchart Garden became four, the Butcharts decided to transform their home into a public attraction. The 50 acres garden is now the most famous garden in Canada.       During the summer months, the Butchart Gardens are illuminated with lovely colored lights. From June through September you can listen to free musical entertainment provided during the evenings.
