I want my garden to look like this! Around 100 years ago Jennie
Butchart, the wife of a Portland Cement magnate, decided to turn
their exhausted quarry pit into a sunken garden. The original garden
was completed in 1921 Today, over a million bedding plants a year are
used throughout the gardens and over a million visitors visit Butchart
Gardens annually. It's well worth the trip.

This is an amazing capture. The color scheme is wonderful and I like how the stairs break everything up.
