Travel to the West (7): The Butchart Gardens

天边一片白云
楼主 (文学城)

Butchart Gardens is located in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia, Canada, North of the city of Victoria on Vancouver Island. 

今年四月要去温哥华,网上查了一下温哥华周围有些什么值得打卡的地方,大家都说要去Butchart Gardens。再一查,Butchart Gardens在一个叫Vancouver Island岛上。这才知道加拿大BC有一个跟台湾差不多大的岛,而且BC的省会Victoria就在这个岛上。不好意识地说,我在中国的时候只知道加拿大有个中国人民的好朋友白求恩大夫。后来有个同事移民到了加拿大的多伦多,才知道了多伦多这个城市。再后来跟风也办了加拿大移民。那时没有直达多伦多的飞机,我们乘坐的飞机需要在温哥华短暂停留。忘了换飞机没有,反正没出飞机场。这才知道另外一个城市叫温哥华。到了加拿大之后慢慢知道的多了一些,尤其时准备入籍考试时恶补了一些。但是对西边的BC不怎么了解,大概是BC距离安省比较远一些的缘故。

P1: Butchart Gardens in April.

P2: Route from Vancouver to The Butchart Gardens

P3: Ferry from Vancouver(Tsawwassen)  to Victoria(Swartz Bay)

从温哥华到岛上需要坐可以载车的轮渡,水上航行时间大概一个半小时。从早上六点开始每隔一个小时有一班船。需要提前在网上定好你的出发时间,并且提前一个小时到达排队等候上船。我们本来想订早一些的,这样可以早点到岛上。但怕万一从温哥华市中心到码头堵车误点,安全起见定的四月十一日上午九点的那班。

P4: Scenery alone the way

P5: Entrance to the Butchant Gardents

大概十一点到达公园,人不是很多,买好票,停好车就进去了。

.P6: Visit Center and Dinning room restaurant. 

P7: 下起了不太大的雨。正发愁没带雨伞,发现别人都打的一样的雨伞,原来公园里提供雨伞。据说最初花园的女主人为了方便客人下雨仍然可以赏花,在花园里配备花伞,后来为了不让雨伞影响观赏,改成了现在的透明伞。好在没下多久停了。

P8: Rub the nose of "Tacca"-the Butchart Boar

Purchased on a  trip to  Florence in 1973, It was cast in Florence by Ferdinando Marinelli Artistic Foundry, a replica of a 1620 bronze cast by Pietro Tacca. It is called "Tacca" in honor of the sculptor and, just as the original's, its snout is shiny from the many visitors rubbing it for luck.

P9: Rose Garden: It is too early to see rose blooming now. but I love those structures for supporting climbing plants

 

P10: Entry to the Japanese Garden: an authentic Torii gate. I like Japanese Garden most. I spent most of time here.

p11: I like the decorations made from woods in Jananese Garden 

p12: Jananese Garden 

P13: Jananess Garden - Stepping Stones

It was still a little bit chilly in April, especially after a rain.这位美眉美丽冻人,我远远地跟着她拍了张看不见脸的照片。

P16: Jananess Garden

P17: Jananess Garden

 

P18: Jananess Garden

P19: Jananess Garden

 

P20: Dragon Fountain in the Jananess Garden

 

P21: In 2004, two 30-foot (9.1 m) totem poles were installed to mark the 100th anniversary, and The Gardens were designated as a national historic site.

 

P22: Italian Garden: Star Pond

 

P23: A sculptural fountain in the Italian Garden

The Italian Garden was built from a  tennis court for the family before.

At about 1pm, we exited from the gardens and had a picnic lunch near the parking lot. We brought some foods ( roasted duck, gruits and bread )from Vancouver. Then we headed to our next stop - the city of Victoria.
