Welcome to the Butchart Gardens, fifty-five acres of
wonderful floral display, offering spectacular views as you stroll along
meandering paths and expansive lawns. In 1904, Jennie Butchart began to beautify
a worked-out quarry site left behind from her husband's pioneering efforts in
the manufacture of Portland cement at Tod Inlet, Vancouver Island, Canada. Her
venture has become a family commitment to horticulture and hospitality spanning
over 100 years, and delighting visitors from all over the world. From the
exquisite Sunken Garden to the charming Rose Garden, this show garden still
maintains the gracious traditions, in one of the loveliest corners in the world.
The Gardens were designated in 2004 as a National Historic Site of
Canada.
