Butchart Gardens, Vancouver Island

On the way to Victoria we stopped at the Butchart Gardens. 33 acres of magnificent gardens that were once privately owned, but now open to the public. We were amazed by size and the splendour of the fuschias, dahlias, and the begonias in particular. It must have been a very healthy environment for plants because they were so lush.

I nearly lost Nadine in the gift shop but thankfully recovered her without any loss of money.
