I would love to do a gardening tour of the area. The nice thing about going to the Butchart off season is that it is quieter.

I have those same photos that I took when at Butchart before moving here to the island. I was at Butchart in February 2 years before moving here -- at that time, I had no idea my husband would finally say this is where he'd be willing to retire.
