If you have a couple of days in Victoria, dedicate one day to checking out the lovely Butchart Gardens...

I'm a city guy, but I was in complete awe of the overall beauty of the Gardens. Meticulously designed and maintained, the views throughout the garden are awesome. My favorite section was the Japanese Garden. You feel like your away in Japan as you stroll through. Lots of social media opportunities by the bridgers and Japanese outdoor decor.

The Sunken Garden is a close second and looking down at it from a top view is amazing. As you walk through admiring all the flowers, you'll end up at Ross fountain. This synchronized dancing fountains are tucked away into a rock corner that also is a social media favorite.

There are plenty of snack opportunities throughout the garden to keep you refreshed. There's a restaurant that I wish I had the chance to dine at. The gift shop is large and well stocked with souvenirs and of course gardening and flowering seeds and accessories. Bring some comfortable clothes and shoes as the garden is massive and you'll be walking for hours.

In summary, this is a beautiful garden to see once if given the opportunity. If you're into flowers and gardening I'm sure you'll disagree with that statement. I hope the weather is nice when you visit, and I'll see you in the city. =) Enjoy!
