Karen’s August visit to Butchart Gardens

Could we ever see too many photos of Butchart Gardens ? I think not . Karen Harris ( who lives in Raleigh , North Carolina ) visited recently , and is sharing with us today .

She says,“Here are some photos from Butchart Gardens , a public garden near Victoria on Vancouver Island . My hubby and I visit the gardens in August 2013 and were bedaze by the endless beaut and punctilious care accept to maintain the many acres of landscaping . Everywhere we depend , someone was weed between planting or deadheading blossom as they fade . We could only wish to attain something as beautiful as this on a small-scale scale – minus all the employment , of course . ”

I have no musical theme how they do it , but I ’m glad they do . Gorgeous photo , Karen . Thanks !
