Butchart Gardens - Victoria, Vancouver Island and Sunday Smiles


 


Husband M's sisters recently toured Butchart Gardens near Victoria on Vancouver Island recently.  It brought back memories of when we visited more than 30 years ago. We took a ferry from Vancouver to Vancouver Island. I believe the ferry loaded our cars too. They were enjoying this first leg of their vacation.

  2. That’s wonderful! I am sure they enjoyed it. We have been there a couple of times but it’s probably been as many years as your last time.

  3. Butchart Gardens in Victoria. I remember how beautiful it was when I was last there---65 years ago! We had tea at the Emporess Hotel afterwards. (Really!)

  18. I stayed with my Thai friend and her family in March 1994 in Vancouver, BC for 6 days. She took me to the Butchart Gardens but since it was March, there were no flowers. I should have gone there in June or during the blooming period. Lesson learned.
