Butchart Gardens, Victoria

This August I went up to Victoria and visited the Buchart gardens for the first time. I have to say I was not prepared for such a riot of color and annuals. I don't think I have ever been to such a brightly colored garden, nor one so immaculately maintained. You can see the plants love the climate there.

The japanese garden had some really nice elements, like a moss garden, and some well done ponds.
