    Victoria行之 The Butchart Garden

    Victoria最首屈一指的景点应该就是Butchart Garden了吧。这个历时百年的花园最让人惊叹的不是无论哪个季节来访,都能看到盛开的鲜花,而是一个这么迷人的花园在一百年前居然是一个石矿厂,真是不得不为人类的伟大而震惊。

    下Ferry正好赶上Butchart 花园9点开门,而关门的时间因季节而不同。夏天的时候开到晚上九点十点,冬天的时候三四点就关了(Hours of Operation),所以事先一定要查清楚些。夏天的时候周六晚上还有美不胜收的烟火看。所以,我个人认为来Victoria最好的行程就是周六来,看完烟火住一宿,周日早上吃个Brunch,太完美了。

    花园的parking lot很有意思,不是传统的ABCD,而是以动物区分,龙虾!老远我就瞄准了龙虾!哈哈。(Parking lot里还有海马,螃蟹,大象,兔子什么的)

    一进门就发了本小地图和Flower Guide,可以照着识别花朵种类。不过后来事实证明,花实在是太多了。。。看也看不过来。

    路过了Seed&Gift Shop和Coffee Shop,就到了Piazza。据说摸了这只猪的鼻子会带来好运哦。

    看它的鼻子被大家摸的光亮光亮的

    下沉的Sunken Garden就是原先Mr. Butchart采挖矿石的现场,到现在,烟囱都还留着。各色的花朵拼出一幅五彩的图画。

    我很难想象他们怎样让花园保持一年四季有花盛开,因为所有的花都是直接种在土上而不是花盆什么的,如果按照季节变换把所有的花重新来过,还真不是一个小工程。

    这花内外两层的花瓣颜色居然是不一样的

    接着就来到了Ross Fountain,这是1964年为了庆祝Butchart Garden建园六十周年而建造的。可惜没有音乐伴奏。不过据说到了晚上,会有彩灯照耀。

    还没走到Rose Garden就已经闻到扑鼻的清香。

    Rose Garden是我个人认为最浪漫的地方,层层的拱门上布满了绿叶和鲜花。

    而最吸引眼球的,就是各种各样的玫瑰。看惯了台湾小玫瑰,国外的玫瑰花怎么可以开成这样呢。

    外国人好像很喜欢日本式的花园,Butchart里面的日本花园麻雀虽小,五脏俱全

    仔细看,连路边的小灯罩都是斗笠状的

    Japanese Garden外面就是停靠水上小飞机的海湾。

    Star Pond是个用草砌出来的五角星,中间是个小喷泉。如果在空中看,一定很美

    最后来到的是Italian Garden。

    一圈逛下来,正好回到入口的咖啡馆和纪念品店。顺便还可以去旁边的Plant Identification去认认花花草草。

    这个铜像也是出售的

    其实,时间有多,在花园里喝喝下午茶,或者参加他们的晚餐+门票套餐也是不错的。

    不过最美的,还是那些我叫得出叫不出名的花啦。

    美得像用纸折出来似的

    最后,Butchart Garden是个去Victoria不能错过的地方。
