Thursday Thoughts – The Butchart Gardens II

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!
