Located about a half hour north of Victoria, it's an easy drive. If you don't have a car, there are bus tours that go to the garden. If you are there when they are open in the evening, I recommend (if possible) seeing the gardens in both daylight and nighttime (the lighting at night is spectacular). The admission charge is good for the whole day, so you can visit during the day, then leave to go somewhere else in the afternoon, and return to the garden in the evening. Their website is has a wealth of information: http://www.butchartgardens.com/ Pete Postlewaite +More At 07:54 AM 10/27/03 -0600, you wrote: Hi all, Harry is going to a conference in Victoria, BC; and I am going with him to play tourist.
