Lucy, Barbara and I, Eleanor Marshall-White, (mother) arrived here to celebrate my 80th Birthday. Surprisingly Butchart Gardens said anyone born in 1927 could get in for free -plus one guest. Our high tea had the same policy. So we really lucked out! We love this little Garden of Eden tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Victoria. We had hoped to find Victoria a "quaint" town and so were slightly disappointed to find such a metropolis. But we found Eleanor's china shop, Lucy's beach, Barbara's gorgeous country-side. Lovely people, delicious food, excellent directions from our host. Thank you, Hopefully we will come back! We loved our stay.
