Garden

Just a few small parts of this gorgeous spot in British Colombia.  

Gardens are awe-inspiring.  This is true whether it's your own backyard or a professionally created one like this.

Wasn't this originally a rock quarry?  This is what I'd call making a silk purse out of a sow's ear.  I'd love to see it.

You're right, @Kachina624.  It was a quarry.  There's a whole Wikipedia entry on it.

I was there in the 1990s but didn't see nearly enough of it to satisfy me!  I want to go back.  I'll meet you there!

Even though I visited the Butchart Gardens many years ago as a child, I remember that it was totally amazing. I had never seen such gorgeous gardens. I hope to see it again some time.

@GingerPeach@Kachina624, I’ll meet you there😊.

I have staircase envy.  I have a spot where I would love to nestle that staircase into.  Some of my version of heaven would be to work in zGod’s gardens with no limitation on what I am allowed to do.  Wouldn’t that be fun!  LM

Wow, that is beautiful. i’d love to see that garden in person.  It’s like a beautiful painting done with plants and trees.

It’s difficult  to imagine that used to be an ugly spot.

I used to live close to Victoria.I still have a cabin on a lake close by.We visit every summer....please come and enjoy beautiful Vancouver Island anytime.There is only one highway running north to south so ya can’t get lost.The island is a very safe place with lots of beautiful beaches and great restaurants,camping,hiking,fishing.There is even a walking trail connecting most of the cities that was once the rail line.
