A little out of the way from the tourist part of town, but well worth the visit if you are into gardens. It is tucked right into one of the nicest neighbourhoods in Victoria, but once you enter you'll feel a million miles away from civilization. Great spot to enjoy a cup of tea, too. More

TLC is doing a good job on this site. The landscape keeps getting better. Nice themed gift shop and a nice place for lunch. More

This garden is a little gem hidden on Fairfield Road. The tearoom is cosy and staff are so friendly. Very limited menu but enjoyable place to visit. The on premise Gift Shop has alot of variety and very good quality items for sale created by local artists. Worth a visit More

For a small garden, it was exquisite with the variety and colors of flowers and trees in bloom. I do not believe this garden gets the attention or acclaim that it deserves. While travelling on the Victoria Clipper from Seattle to Victoria, I met a lady who volunteers at the Abkhazi Gardens. She recommended it so highly that I wanted... More

Peaceful and beautiful. Flowers were in bloom. Several volunteer hosts spoke with us along the way and helped us identify flowers. More

We walked to Abkhazi in Oak Bay from our Guest House. It was a neat little garden - very well tended and the rhododendrons were in full swing, very beautiful. That said, it's a pretty small garden and we felt that the gift shop and tea house were a bit overpriced, as well, we thought that the $10 admission each... More

We visited in early Spring but there we many lovely things to see. The month May will be the best time to visit perhaps. Pleasant cafe on site. More
