Victoria’s Butchart Gardens

Victoria’s Butchart Gardens were on the top of my must see list when I knew we would be heading to Canada.  If you enjoy a beautiful garden and love to dabble in photography, you’ll be in heaven in these manicured gardens.

No need to say much, when you’re at Butchart you just wonder around the grounds and sit down every once in awhile and take in the beauty.

The rose garden . . . I have no idea how many varieties of roses there were, but they were so precisely labeled in case you wanted to added anything new to your garden.

The Butchart Gardens Tea House, this will be on my must do list for my next visit.  It looked so charming and I’ve read some wonderful reviews about the Tea.  If you’ve been there for tea what did you think?

A quaint little stone ‘house’ right near the performing stage and indoor merry-go-round.  Reminded me of some cottages I’ve seen in Europe.

Just a few of my favorite flowers at Butchart.  I don’t think I put my camera down the entire time we were walking through the grounds.

Red and purple always look great together.  Is it bad that these colors together remind me of The Red Hats Society?

Stunning colors!

Walking the grounds of Butchart was so relaxing and it felt like you had been lifted to another world.  A very pretty world.  So peaceful.  So beautiful.

Tomorrow we will be the last post on our trip which will be my review of the historic Empress Hotel which has just finished a multi-million face lift. Then . . . we will be back to our regular postings on design.  I’ll also  share the fact we’ve been contacted again by HGTV for an audition.
