These are just out of the city and are so worth the visit.
Jennie Butchart began planting in 1904 using the old quarry on their property to create a sunken garden. They evolved over the years and are still owned by the family but are also historic trust site.
All I can say is we chose a lovely sunny day and it was a true feast of colour for your eyes. the pictures tell all!!!

I could add so many pictures but I suggest you look at the link which will give a better look. We spent about 3 hours there before leaving and heading back to Duncan to stock up on groceries and visit a laundrette. We then headed off to Gerry and regains for the night and began the evening with watching the hockey. Montreal and Boston were playing in the Easton conference for a place in the Stanley Cup. We so enjoyed the game on their large screen and although we won't actually see a live game while we are here we feel we did experience some of the hockey world that so many people are about here.
It was also a good opportunity to see Gerry and regains recent travel photos to Arizona. they had spent most of the winter down there in a camping trailer to escape the winter.
We had a wonderful dinner with Gerry and Reegan with great turkey soup that Gerry had made and even better conversation. Great fun and people who are so generous.
Should I make the suggestion to Shaun's uncle that he turns his quarry into beautiful gardens???
