Continue to Butchart Gardens, where admission is included. Spend approximately 135 minutes exploring the 130-acre property’s colourful seasonal displays, landscaped paths and tranquil themed gardens. During specific period, you can enjoy the optional Butchart Gardens Afternoon Tea for a relaxed English-style tea experience in the garden restaurant.
