Butchart Gardens in Vancouver Island

This garden is not like any garden, it is probably one the biggest botanic garden in Canada. Situated in Victoria on the south side of Vancouver Island. I was maybe a little over existed to see so many colors and flowers diversity that I literally took around 5 hundred pictures.


I love nature, but I rarely stop to take photos of flowers. I was just simply blown away of ambiance and the vibrant colors.

I took the photo while walking down the stairs to get to this pathway in the middle of this shot. This precise view is certainly the most popular view in the Butchart Gardens, even though there is many other nice looking views. Probably due to the fact that is use as an entrance to that specific garden and the prespective from that angle is just stunning.


I decided to go with a mild painting effect on the entire photo, althought a removed the intensity in some area to keep the details. Otherwise your eyes wouldn't know on what they focusing on. You can partially see what I am saying by looking at the trees after the two pine trees.


I did played with the color saturation to make it look more like it was in person. The orginal photo wasn't paying justice to actual view on site.


Printed this 13" x 13" art piece on a regular satin photo paper and then assembled into a wooden black frame with a glass at the front to protect it.

If I can recall properly, there is around 5 gardens with different themes you can visit.


In one section of the first garden you have a beautiful water fountain that display some interesting patterns while being surrounded by vibrant flowers.


We add to catch the ferry to go back to Vancouver for a certain time but it didn't take us to long to visit all the gardens.


It was very crowdy in some sections and it roughly took us 1h30-2h to do the full circuit.


Dogs are allowed in all gardens, which can be an interesting activity for your well behave doggy that might have his/her sense of smell triggered at every step.
