Butchart Gardens National Historic Site of Canada is an internationally-known public attraction that has been open to visitors since 1904. Whether it be the emerging leaves in the Spring, brilliant pink or white flowers of trees; the dazzling bedding plants framed in by sweeping lawns or the treat to the nose of a waft of a thousand scents of summer, Butchart Gardens has it all!
