Butchart Gardens, one of the world’s leading floral show gardens. Jennie Butchart began transforming this magnificent 55-acre landscape in 1904 from her husband Robert’s abandoned limestone quarry. The result was the dramatic Sunken Garden, a testament to the early 20th-century beautification movement and a remarkable achievement in Canadian gardening history. Reflecting their global travels, the Butcharts also created a Japanese Garden, an Italian Garden, and a Rose Garden. Through successive generations, the Butchart family has preserved much of the original design, continuing the Victorian tradition of seasonally changing the exceptional floral displays.

Following the garden visit, the tour of Victoria begins, where the relaxed modernism of the West Coast merges with traditional British, European, and Asian influences. Participants will explore Chinatown, Government House, the Empress Hotel, Inner Harbour, and the Old Town Bastion Square, concluding with a visit to Fisherman’s Wharf.
