On Vancouver Island in Canada’s British Columbia province, Butchart Gardens have since become a National Historic Site and a destination for more than a million visitors each year. The gardens feature more than 900 varieties of plants showcased in several themed areas, including a Japanese garden with over 500 rhododendrons and azaleas, an Italian garden with 18 formal beds, a Mediterranean garden with drought-resistant plants from around the world, a rose garden with 280 different varieties, and the Butchart centerpiece: the sunken garden.
