In reply to Meenakshi J. Meenakshi - I was surprised by the number of gardens in Victoria BC & how well maintained they are.

These gardens look absolutely and strangely I am reminded of the Ramoji film City that has tried re-incarnate such a landscape inside their acres of land.
I am glad that atleast after depleting the hills/quaries of the minerals, he thought of adding a lung space to this region. And that photograph of the butterfly relishing its daily supply of fruit juices is absolutely brilliant!

In reply to Nisha. Thanks, Nisha. I was wishing for yearly passes in our gardens but most of our gardens are free for the public.

The Butchart Gardens looks absolutely stunning. I agree with you that British do have a penchant for large gardens and had ensured that where ever they went. The yearly pass is probably useful for the locals. Awesome photos!

In reply to Megan Jerrard. I agree with you, Megan. Like I mention in the post, Government gardens are the best gardens in Victoria BC followed by Beacon Hill Park. I could go walking there again and again.

We loved our time in Victoria BC. Butchart Gardens were pretty, but I think they had been overhyped a bit too much before we went, so we had these grand expectations and didn’t feel like they were met. It was an enjoyable day, but we felt wasn’t standout as compared to other botanic gardens. Really enjoyed the Government House Gardens though, and Beacon Park Hill; I think these felt more authentic than Butchart 🙂 Glad you enjoyed your time there!

In reply to Medha Verma. Fall colors were simply stunning. You have no idea how much time I spent just looking at the colorful trees. Gardens were, of course, the go-to place to see all the shades.

I love the fall colours at the Beacon Park Hill and the Japanese gate, they’ve done it perfectly, exactly as the gates they have in Japan. Deer and butterflies to give you company, how cool is that? And the Ross Fountains look quite majestic. Good to know that they also have 3 restaurants inside the gardens. Looks like a great place to step away from busy city life and relax in tranquil surroundings.

In reply to Sneha. Sneha - I was totally surprised to see the deer at Government gardens in BC. It is one of the most peaceful gardens I have been to.
