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. Source
