The Butchart Gardens - _{The One Attraction You Can't Miss Out- Canada's Pride And Beauty}

Vancouver Island in British Columbia provides a dizzying assortment of advantages, from charming city centers to magnificent historic hotels to windswept shorelines. Nevertheless, despite the island's abundance of natural beauty, one spot continues to stand out. In Brentwood Bay, British Columbia, there is a 55-acre display garden known as The Butchart Gardens that has been there for 119 years. The Gardens, which were built by Jennie Butchart and are still privately owned and run by the family, turned 100 years old in 2004 and were honored by being named a National Historic Site of Canada.
