The
Butchart Gardens
is a group of floral display gardens in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia, Canada,
located near Victoria on Vancouver Island. The gardens receive close to a
million visitors each year. The gardens have been designated a National
Historic Site of Canada due to their international renown. In 1939, the
Butcharts gave the Gardens to their grandson Ian Ross (1918–1997) on his 21st
birthday. Ross was involved in the operation and promotion of the gardens until
his death 58 years later.

A
back garden is a residential
garden located at the rear of a property, on the other side of the house from
the front garden. Such gardens have a special place in English suburban and gardening
culture. A back garden arises when the main building divides the surrounding
gardens into two. This happens especially in the high density housing of
British cities and towns. A semi-detached house typical of the British suburbs
of the 20th century will have front gardens which face the road and provide
access. The back gardens in such cases will be more secluded and access will
typically be via the dwelling or by a path around the side.
