Garden Packages
These are our Garden Packages; we also have Theatre Packages and Special Packages available.
Glorious Gardens
$134 in Spring, $143 in Summer. (Rates are per person, based on double occupancy.)
Spend two or more nights in our Garden guestroom and receive entry to three of the City’s iconic gardens: Butchart Gardens, Glendale Gardens and Abkhazi Gardens. Plus, take home a basket of complimentary gardener’s goodies.
The Butchart Gardens, a National Historic Site, is sure to put a spring in your step as you explore their awe inspiring setting, with their displays of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths in spring, the always amazing Sunken Garden and the summer rose garden. Glendale Gardens and Woodland at the Pacific Horticultural Centre boasts 43 hectares (106 acres) to explore, including a magnificent rhododendron garden and a serene Takata Japanese Garden. The exquisite Abkhazi Gardens, created in 1946 by Prince and Princess Abkhazi, invites an escape from modern life with its majestic trees and dramatic site. Each garden invites the visitor to leave behind the daily grind for a while and to succumb to a little spring fever.
The Glorious Gardens Package is available from April 15 to September 30, 2010, and the room in question may be upgraded.
The Avid, Rabid Gardener
Price dependent on group size
For the more serious gardeners wishing a peek at Victoria's private, award-winning, well-publicized gardens, a guided tour with Joan Looy is a must. A well-connected personality, Joan ferries 1-6 guests to several of her Victorian delights and offers extraordinary insight into the history of Victoria, Victorian gardening as well as that of the gardens being visited. Each tour is customized to a group's preferences and time constraints ( half day or full-day tours given, prices varying accordingly).
