Butchart Gardens

My Aunt Prissy, cousin Adair, and second cousin Gabrielle and I took a public transportation bus to Butchart Gardens. I must say how great it would be for all of our country to get on board with great public transportation. It cost us $2.25/each one way for a 45 minute road trip up the island of Vancouver. I think we all marveled over the scenic route through the neighborhoods of British Columbia. Butchart Gardens is quite amazing. I went once before during the summer when the flowers were in full bloom. Although there were not as many flowers this time of year, the vast variety of colors completely makes up for it. We enjoyed high tea at noon in a beautiful garden setting surrounded by orchids (my favorite)!
