Сады Бучартов / The Butchart Gardens. (53 шт. фото)
Butchart Gardens
Сад был задуман миссис Бучарт, так как она очень любила цветы и растения. Мистер Бучарт, кажется, одобрял идею и помогал своей жене. Коллекция растений собиралась Бучартами в течение их путешествий по всему свету.
The Butchart Gardens at Todd Inlet, some 21 km from Victoria covers more than 55 acres of a 130 acre estate. The gardens were begun by Mr. and Mrs. Pim Butchart in an effort to beautify a worked-out quarry site.They decided to include it in their plans for landscaping their home grounds.
Many rare and exotic shrubs, trees and plants were personally collected by the couple in their world travels and thus began the "Sunken Garden."
The Gardens begun as a hobby by the Butcharts were constantly expanded and spilled over into the Rose, Italian and Japanese Gardens.
The Gardens are visited by more than a million visitors each year.
