Sunday, our final full day in Victoria, we spent wandering through the world famous Butchart Gardens.
A century ago, Robert and Jennie Butchart moved to Vancouver Island to build a cement plant. As cement production exhausted the limestone deposits, Jennie envisioned a grand garden in its place. This is the result.
We spent nearly seven hours walking around, trying to capture the beauty in digits. Here’s just a little of what we saw:
One of the popular things to do in Victoria is to go whale watching. We didn’t have time to do that, so Dianne did the next best thing. At the Butchart Gardens carousel, she went whale riding.
We finally left Butchart Gardens without buying a thing in the gardens’ gift shop.
