Lonely Planet review for Butchart Gardens
With all the rugged natural beauty in British Columbia, it’s a bit ironic that one of the province’s top tourism draws is the 20 hectares of elaborate manicured foliage at Butchart Gardens, 21km north of Victoria in Brentwood Bay. With its year-round kaleidoscope of colors, the grounds are divided into separate garden areas – the tranquil Japanese Garden is a favorite. Summer can be crowded but the Saturday-night fireworks display (July and August) makes it all worthwhile.

The tulips are divine
jessboland recommends this,
I lived in Victoria for 6 months before I visited Butchart Gardens. How I wish I'd discovered it sooner! So many beautiful rich colours. The grounds are wonderfully manicured. Many different paths and nooks to explore.
I visited during tulip season, and the displays were simply divine.
You'll need a good few hours to get around the gardens.
