This information node sits at the entrance to The Butchart Gardens, a 122-year-old, 55-acre world-famous display garden in Brentwood Bay designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2004. Still privately owned by the founding Butchart family, the gardens feature distinct themed sections—Sunken, Rose, Japanese, Italian, and Mediterranean—along with summer evening illuminations and fireworks. A touring cyclist arriving from Victoria (approximately 22 km via Highway 17 and Tanner Road) would find multiple dining venues and a gift store on site.
