The Butchart Gardens & Leisure Time
2
Details
Throughout your stay in Victoria, you'll discover more than a bit of British influence in its double- decker buses, horse-drawn carriages and formal gardens, all surrounded by the rustic beauty of the Pacific coast. You'll find floral beauty in exceptional form at The Butchart Gardens, begun over a century ago. During your visit this morning, explore what has grown to encompass 55 magnificent acres of flowers and show garden; each year over a million bedding plants in some 900 varieties promise an uninterrupted bloom from March through October. During your visit, see the Sunken Garden, the first to be planted by Jennie Butchart, and stroll through the Rose Garden, Japanese Garden and the Italian Garden.
Following your return to Victoria early afternoon, and afternoon tea at the famed Fairmont Empress, the remainder of the day is free to spend as you please you might wish to visit the Royal British Columbia Museum to learn about the people of coastal British Columbia. Downtown restaurants and shops, as well as the attractions of Fisherman's Wharf, are within walking distance.
