The Butchart Gardens Ltd Daily Information-Recorded

Steeped in tradition: Sip afternoon tea in Victoria

Just outside Victoria proper, you’ll find Butchart Gardens and its more than five hectares of floral show gardens. One of Victoria’s top tourist destinations, a list of afternoon teas must include its seasonal afternoon tea. The elegant dining room, part of the Butchart family’s original residence, features views of two garden areas and Tod Inlet. Vegetarian and children’s teas are also offered. The cost of tea is not included in garden admission, so it’s best to make a day of it, exploring the incredible gardens and breaking for tea.
