Gardens have long been a muse for artistic inspiration, from Impressionist masterpieces to gardens found in great literary works. There are as many different garden styles, types, uses and designs as there are flowers, vegetables, seeds, and plants to call them home, and their beauty and sustainability is found on all seven continents. Gardens are such an important part of our journeys in so many destinations including:

Butchart Gardens

The Butchart Gardens is an internationally-renowned 55-acre display garden in British Columbia. Created by Jennie Butchart, and still privately owned and operated by the family, The Gardens was designated a National Historic Site of Canada, in 2004 for its 100th birthday. Comprised of several major gardens, including the Sunken Garden, Rose Garden, Japanese Garden, Italian Garden, and Mediterranean Garden, it is truly a botanic paradise.

Giverny

Artist Claude Monet’s famed gardens at Giverny are still today much the same as when he resided there – “timelessness and tranquility” are two apt descriptions. Monet created 250+ paintings of the gardens, often focusing on the famed lily pond. By the time he died, the gardens were his only subject.
