Butchart Gardens

I've heard a lot about these gardens, even since I was in Quebec. There suppose to be one of the finest attraction of the Victoria area. So I subscribed blindly to this activity. I was a little bit disappointed. I must said that it's not the best time of the year to visit theses gardens. Most of the flower are not at their full blossom. But my expectation was much higher than that. It's a private attraction and we feel it. There are four different gardens that we cross when we follow the path. The most famous is the Sunken garden, a garden that we discover from an higher point of view. But the garden that I prefer was the Japanese. I concede that the gardens are well organize. Even so, I saw better gardens. For example, the Jardin des Plantes in Caen was nicer and the Montreal's Botanical Garden is much bigger and interesting than the Butchart Gardens. Worst of all is that the entrance fees are very high, 21$.

I will have seen it.
