Butchart Gardens

In addition to flowers there is plenty to see at this accredited National Historic Site of Canada! Impressive statues and fountains are situated throughout, and in 2004, two 9.1 metre (30-foot) totem poles were installed to mark their 100th anniversary. More recently the gardens have added the Rose Carousel with 30 hand-carved animals including bears, horses, ostriches, and zebras. An eco-friendly electric-operated boat tour exploring the history and wildlife of the local Brentwood Bay waters has been introduced. In June 2015, a magnificent bronze and granite Dragon Fountain was unveiled, a gift from the People’s Republic of China & the City of Suzhou.
In all seasons, and in all weather, the gardens shine.
