We went to the Butchart Gardens on June 29. We went to Victoria on a Clipper Tour. Took the people ferry out of Seattle, Wa. We had a morning like glass all the way.
After getting off the ferry and through customs we got on a bus for the gardens. Our luggage was sent to the hotel. We got to the gardens in time for a late lunch. Self guided tour, shuttle to town every ½ hour until 9:30 pm. We left at 5:30.
Gift shop, cafe, diner, washrooms, etc at the front courtyard.
Traffic flow is generally clockwise, rose garden sort of in the middle of everything.
A pavilion of hanging baskets
I have about 25 more pics of the hanging baskets. I’m going to give you the full walk, just not every picture.
Up and over a slight ridge through some nice deep woods.
