If I were asked what one thing a visitor to Victoria should do, I would reply without hesitation “see Butchart Gardens“. It’s one of the world’s most beautiful properties and you would look long and far before you found better return for your dollar. Saturdays in summer represent particlularly good value — go for the day, take a picnic basket, stay for the spectacular fireworks show (worth the price of admission in itself!), and stay at its conclusion for a late-night look at the Sunken Gardens while the traffic dissipates. It’s a ‘must do’ Victoria thing that’s bound to please even the most demanding visitor. High marks!

During the week of February 26 - March 3, 2007, while most Canadians are shoveling the snow from their driveways, here in Victoria we count our flowers. Fellow Victorians, be sure to add your flowers to the count.
