Jean R. sent me these pictures of Butchart Gardens in the fall. I can not believe that some of these colors aren't done by Disneyland!! They don't seem real. Beautiful yes, real no!!
The Butchart Gardens is located on Vancouver Island, 23 km (14 miles) north of Victoria, B.C."The Butchart Gardens is one of the world's premier floral show gardens. Jennie Butchart began to shape this magnificent landscape in 1904. She established, in the style of the grand estates of the period, several distinct gardens to evoke a range of aesthetic experiences. An abandoned limestone quarry was transformed into the dramatic Sunken Garden, a reflection of the early 20th-century beautification movement and an exceptional achievement in Canadian gardening history. Through successive generations of the Butchart family, The Gardens has retained much of its original design, and continues the Victorian tradition of seasonally changing the outstanding floral displays."
Just a little information from their web site. For the website and all the information go to:
