Butchart Gardens, Victoria BC

The Sunken Garden -- This is the classic view of one of the world's most famous gardens, created from the depression of Mr Butchart's limestone quarry. The limestone paths as well as a preserved mill smokestack (not shown) remind the visitors of this enchanted place's grittier past.  To maintain the appearance of a private garden that it is since 1904, much of the garden's dazzling flora remains unlabeled, prompting the astute visitor to consult the complimentary flower guide.
