The Butchart Gardens
Vancouver Island, BC
Sunken Garden Overlook at the Butchart Gardens, Brentwood Bay, Vancouver Island, B.C.
In a world brimming with natural wonders, Butchart Gardens stands as a horticultural gem that leaves visitors spellbound. Nestled on Vancouver Island, Canada, these enchanting gardens have captured the hearts of millions with their exquisite beauty and meticulous design. From vibrant flower displays to serene landscapes, Butchart Gardens invites more than one million visitors per year to immerse themselves in a tapestry of colors and scents.
Featuring 55 acres of floral show gardens, the Butchart Gardens was designed a National Historic Site of Canada in 2004. The Garden itself was originally designed in the early 1900's by Jennie Butchart, who transformed an abandoned limestone quarry into a living masterpiece. Each of the carefully curated gardens within the complex showcases unique themes and botanical wonders, captivating visitors with their sheer magnificence. From the enchanting Sunken Garden, with its cascading terraces and vibrant blooms, to the tranquil Japanese Garden, adorned with delicate cherry blossoms and serene ponds, every corner of Butchart Gardens is a source of inspiration.
The Butchart Gardens is a living work of art that evolves with the seasons. The skilled gardeners and horticulturists behind its creation meticulously plan and execute the displays, ensuring a seamless transition from the vibrant hues of spring to the lush greenery of summer and the fiery foliage of autumn. The gardens are a symphony of colors, textures, and fragrances, showcasing the diversity of flora that thrives in the region. At the heart of Butchart Gardens lies a breathtaking collection of flowers, each one vying for attention with its resplendent beauty. From delicate roses in an array of hues to vibrant dahlias, elegant tulips, and enchanting orchids, the garden is a tapestry of floral wonders.
I first visited the Butchart Gardens as a six-year-old child with my parents. The beauty struck a deep chord within me and left a lasting impression. I've since returned on two other occasions as an adult to photograph the gardens. When I think of beautiful gardens the list begins and ends with The Butchart Gardens.

Museum-Quality: TruLife® Acrylic Face Mount Print - Ready To Hang
The most luxurious of fine art prints, TruLife® Acrylic face mount prints have a 3d-like appearance due to the print being sandwiched between museum-quality acrylic and a solid backer medium. The paper is specifically made for face mounted prints and features a pearl-like luminescence. When light hits the acrylic, it refracts through the artwork and gives off an appearance of having been illuminated from within. These are the most vibrant and detailed prints I offer. Acrylic prints are best suited for hanging in homes.
