Owner description:
These internationally acclaimed floral display gardens started over 100 years ago. Jennie Butchart wanted to make her husband's depleted limestone quarry look better and the result is the Sunken Garden. Other gardens include the Rose Garden, the Japanese Garden and the Italian Garden. The gardens are meticulously maintained and provide a riot of colour for much of the year. During the summer, special lighting subtly illuminates the gardens, musical entertainment takes place on the Concert Lawn, and there are ten spectacular Saturday night Firework Shows. The Magic of Christmas season also has beautiful lighting and evening entertainment, and an outdoor skating rink. Spring offers hundreds of thousand flowering bulbs and Autumn is the time for dahlias, chrysanthemums and fall colours. The Gardens is open daily, year round.

Family Paddle Guided TourEnjoy a two hour guided paddle in a single, double kayak or canoe to Tod Inlet in Brentwood Bay with a lunch break on the shoreline. Have time to stretch and explore the secluded marine park where seals, eagles, starfish and other sea life can be enjoyed. Following the paddling, we will make delicious smoothies for all to enjoy.
