Introduction

Butchart Gardens is located in Victoria City on Vancouver Island, Canada, and was established in 1904. At that time, Mr. Robert Pim Butchart abandoned a depleted limestone quarry and his wife Jennie began planting various flowers to beautify the exhausted land, eventually creating Butchart Gardens. After over a hundred years of cultivation and management, Butchart Gardens has become a colorful and dreamy garden. The garden covers a large area and has fifty full-time or part-time employees who need to cultivate over a million pots of flowers each year, including 700 different varieties to ensure that the garden is open from March to October. In 1905, the Butchart couple hired a Japanese landscape designer to create a Japanese garden, and in 1929 they built an Italian garden and a rose garden.
