The Butchart Gardens are often considered the best and most extensive gardens in British Columbia. Between mid-spring and summer, the flowers bloom, and there are spectacular displays of colours, lush greens and floral arrangements.

The gardens have been growing for over 100 years, and there are over 900 bedding plant varieties split between 26 greenhouses. The site is considered one of the National Historic Sites of Canada. They have seasonal events, including Christmas light displays, festive dining and special spring gardens.
