Welcome to the enchanting Butchart Gardens, a floral wonderland nestled in Victoria that’s sure to captivate your senses!

Imagine strolling through a kaleidoscope of vibrant blooms, each garden revealing a new tapestry of colors and fragrances. From the sunken garden’s dramatic landscape to the serene beauty of the Japanese garden, every corner is a photographer’s dream.

Don’t miss the mesmerizing fountain shows and the delightful carousel ride for a touch of whimsy.

After wandering through the vibrant blooms, treat yourself to a meal at The Dining Room Restaurant, where gourmet dishes crafted from fresh, local ingredients await. Savor exquisite West Coast cuisine while enjoying panoramic views of the gardens. For a more relaxed vibe, head to The Blue Poppy Restaurant, offering a seasonal menu with casual fare perfect for refueling between garden explorations.

No visit to Butchart Gardens is complete without experiencing their iconic Afternoon Tea. Served in the charming setting of The Dining Room, this tradition offers an array of delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and preserves, and an assortment of pastries and sweets. Paired with a selection of fine teas, this is the perfect way to unwind and soak in the garden's serene beauty.
