Vancouver, Canada

The Sunken Garden was created by the Butcharts on the sight of their abandoned limestone quarry. Each season brings delights: azaleas, tulips, daffodils, and other delicate blossoms in spring; breathtaking roses, annuals and perennials in summer; bursts of colorful foliage in autumn; and crisp strolls in winter. Subtle colored lighting illuminates the gardens June 15 through September 30; from December 6 to January 6 they sparkle with festive lights and decor.

These memorial gardens are known as
The Queen Elizabeth Sunken Gardens
