Of course I have some more memories from this beautiful garden. I hope you enjoy them too!
So, we are leaving the Sunken Garden and heading for the Japanese Garden. Often those gardens are my favourites because of their total harmony, and the impact that makes.
I also must post a piece of the Rose Garden and some glorious flower arrangements. We only got two hours in Butchart, so unfortunately I did not get all the time needed to take everything in and to photograph everything I wanted.
This tunnel was lovely, with roses on both sides and hanging flower baskets between every arch.
I love to see different flower arrangements, they are both eye candy and inspiration for any lover of gardens and flowers.
They excelled in using only one colour as well – 50 shades of green?
It was hard to leave this amazing place, but we were grateful to have got this opportunity. Before we went, I was afraid it might be the wrong season to visit – now I know it wasn’t!
The colour combinations were stunningly perfect. As were the different matching of shapes. Even the colour of the window fits in.
I know many of you have visited these gardens, and finally I did too. This must be one of, if not The, most beautiful garden I have ever visited. The Sunken Garden was an outstanding experience. We could not have had a more lovely finale for this cruising adventure. Thank you for joining me!
119 years ago, The Butchart Gardens, Victoria, BC, was transformed from a quarry to the lush haven it is today. And it is still run by the same family. Jennie Butchart had a dream, and she made it come true – for future generations to enjoy, spending some lovely hours walking here.
The Sunken garden was such a beauty seen from the top of the stairs. And we were lucky to have delightful weather too.
This is the first gallery from our visit, but there are pictures for one more post. I’ll save it for another grey day…
Yes, everything is grey here in Sweden now, rain and sleet, winter knocking at the door. I hope you too had an uplifting and delightful walk in the gardens!
The Garden was founded through a donation in 1791 by the historian and antiquarian Bengt Bergius and his brother Peter Jonas Bergius, a physician and scientist, for the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
Strolling along the well kept paths and exploring the glass house was a great pleasure.
It was a perfect finish for our Stockholm visit this time. I wish I could have one of those gigantic lily pads in my garden…
Summertime we visit this park often – not just because of the closeness to our summer house, but also because of its outstanding beauty. Please enjoy a short Thursday walk with me for some summer glory!
The beauty is there even if there are no flowers. Only silence and soothing greeeeeeen.
But the waters are alive, and
the rhododendrons magnificent.
The laburnum was past its best,
but still quite lovely. At least the bumble bees thought so!
And well, who can resist this colour? I can’t.
Thank you for walking with me!
