POINT OF INTEREST

The Butchart Gardens

About This Point Of Interest

The Butchart Gardens

This Vancouver Island treasure is the highlight of our Victoria + Butchart Gardens Tour. Covering over 22 breathtaking hectares (55 acres), life flourishes in this beautifully manicured landscape all year long, and although 300,000 bulbs bloom every spring, the Butchart Gardens have something to see and do throughout the seasons. Even the height of winter is a delight at the gardens as they celebrate the holidays with the Magic of Christmas, a full month of festive lights, teas and events. During the rest of the year, gaze and meander through the trails including the Sunken Garden, Japanese Garden, and the prize-winning Rose Garden. From greenhouse tours and guided walks, to fountains and a children’s carrousel, the Butchart Gardens are an unforgettable experience that is as diverse as it is magical.
