We went for the hedge maze but we loved all of the Gardens! We were saying it’s a zoo for plants! It’s so beautiful and had so many plants! Great place for a picnic! Definitely need a map to navigate! Lots of walking so wear quality shoes. The whole place was very well taken care of.

From out of Vancouver but wished to see these gardens and take some nice pictures as beautiful hot day. We are seniors (over75) and walked most as wide paths and mostly easy. We would suggest thou not enough benches in the long path areas. We had to rest, lean on a tree, and felt exhausted at times. Where are the benches? We wished we had taken a tour seated in wagons. The gardens have people always trimming or planting. We came last week in June and felt more staff should be needed as could tell winter was not kind to some hedges ect. We only saw one man working. It takes approx. 1.5 hrs to walk around most of the early plants. We did enjoy many plants and flowers and ground cover from other countries. Nice facility and gift shop but seemed expensive items. The small lake and fountains are very beautiful. Worth the walk, will be back. Short walking distance to the Shaughnessy restaurant combining lunch and garden walk is very nice. For two seniors cost us 17.20. There is a small but good restaurant connected and can eat inside or outside in the sun. Will come again next year! Longbeach.

Highly recommend this beautiful garden. It has many themed areas with plants and trees from around the world. Lots of places to sit and admire the scenery. Cafe is excellent. Admission price is a bargain compared to Butchart Gardens in Victoria.

A really wonderful botanical garden. There are sections devoted to different areas and it was a joy to wander around. The variety of planting was spectacular. The water features were especially fine. We also saw a heron, ducks and a black squirrel. The toilet facilities were good and we enjoyed a drink in the cafe.
