The Butchart Gardens were started by
Jennie Butchart (1866–1950) in 1909 when her husbands' limestone quarry was
exhausted. After much planning Jennie completed the sunken garden in 1921 and it was the first of many different locations that
were added over the years. The gardens are still being run by the Butchart family
after 100 years and are regarded as a national treasure of Vancouver Island.
