The Butchart Gardens®
Robert Butchart depleted limestone

hands, his wife Jennie transformed
it into the famous Sunken Garden.
From 1906 to 1929, the garden
expanded to include Japanese and
Italian style gardens as well as many
stunning rose gardens. Now there
are over 900 kinds of flowers that
bloom every year with over a million
visitors annually to witness them.
