布伦特伍德湾的布查特花园，不列颠哥伦比亚省，加拿大

一个多世纪前，这里还是一片荒废的采石场，如今每年春季则变成了色彩斑斓的花海。位于加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省布伦特伍德湾的布查特花园，展示了如何将缤纷花卉演绎为盛宴。春季时节，郁金香的香气弥漫小径，沿途色彩斑斓，每一个转角都有新花绽放。然而，这里并非一直如此美丽。20世纪初，罗伯特·皮姆·布查特曾在此经营石灰石采石场。1912年，他的妻子珍妮识别出废弃矿坑的潜力，开始在坑内种植花卉。如今，布查特花园占地55英亩，种植有900多种植物，每年春天近30万株球茎花卉竞相绽放。

在布查特花园，游客可以漫步于曾经是采石场的下沉花园，亦可探索由园艺设计师岸田伊三郎于1906年设计的日本庭园。此外，还可以参观玫瑰园，以及位于原布查特家族网球场旧址上的意大利花园。园区内还设有玫瑰旋转木马，其上装饰着30个手工雕刻的木质动物，并提供乘船游览花园区域的体验。花园内分布着安静的秋千和多座铜雕作品，如“三鲟喷泉”。游览结束后，可前往园区内的餐厅，享用时令美食或传统下午茶，为行程画上圆满的句点。

Butchart Gardens in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia, Canada

What was a depleted quarry over a century ago now transforms into a living color wheel each spring. Butchart Gardens in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia, knows how to put on a bloom show. In spring, roses scent the air, tulips line the paths, and something new blooms around every turn. But it didn't always look this way. In the early 1900s, Robert Pim Butchart operated a limestone quarry here. His wife, Jennie, saw potential in the depleted pit and began planting flowers in 1904. Now spread across 55 acres, the garden is home to more than 900 plant species—and each spring, almost 300,000 bulbs bloom.

While visiting the Butchart Gardens, take a stroll through the Sunken Garden, site of the former quarry, and explore the Japanese Garden, designed in 1906 by landscape architect Isaburo Kishida. If you stop by the Rose Garden, be sure to check out the Italian Garden—it replaced the family's tennis courts. There's more: ride the Rose Carousel, which comprises 30 hand-carved wooden animals. You'll also find quiet swings and bronze statues like the Three Sturgeons Fountain. Wrap it up with seasonal dishes or afternoon tea at the on-site dining room.
