*** About Butchart Gardens: Butchart Gardens, located in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia, is a world-renowned floral display garden that invites hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Initially begun in 1904 by Jennie Butchart, the wife of a cement manufacturer, the gardens were an effort to beautify a worked-out quarry site owned by her husband. Today, Butchart Gardens spans over 55 acres, offering multiple themed gardens such as the Italian Garden, Japanese Garden, and the famous Sunken Garden, each meticulously designed to offer spectacular year-round displays of floral and botanical wonder. This elaborate and diverse garden presents an important example of reclaimed and beautified industrial land, providing inspiration for similar projects globally.
