22 Butchart Gardens

Robert Pim Butchart began manufacturing Portland cement in 1888. He and his wife Jennie Butchart came to the west coast because of rich limestone deposits necessary for cement production.

In 1907, 65-year-old garden designer Isaburo Kishida of Yokohama came to Victoria, at the request of his son, to build a tea garden for Esquimalt Gorge Park. 

This garden was wildly popular and a place to be seen. Several prominent citizens, Jennie Butchart among them, commissioned Japanese gardens from Kishida for their estates. He returned to Japan in 1912.

 

In 1909, when the limestone quarry was exhausted, Jennie set about turning it into the Sunken Garden, which was completed in 1921. 

The garden consists of seven sections: Sunken, Concert Lawn & Stage, Fireworks Lawn, Roserie, Japanese, Star pond and Italian.
