WARMTH & ELEGANCE THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN & THE ITALIAN GARDEN Beyond roses and cherry blossoms, the Mediterranean Garden creates an atmosphere reminiscent of a European seaside retreat. Olive trees, lavender, and exotic flowers transport you to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Brugsmansia and fuchsia drip from the lush greenery, painting a picturesque scene that is punctuated by equally captivating aromas. Located between the Rose Garden and the Mediterranean Garden, the Italian Garden is yet another jewel in the crown of Butchart Gardens. Stepping into the Italian Garden, you are transported to a Renaissance-era villa garden in the heart of Tuscany. It is characterized by elegant symmetry, ornate stone statues and geometrically trimmed hedges. A star-shaped pond serves as the centerpiece, reflecting the sky and surrounding flora. Terracotta pots brimming with vibrant tulips and hyacinths line the walkways, adding splashes of color against the emerald green backdrop.
