Located in Brentwood Bay, just minutes from the busy ferry terminal in Sidney and a short drive from Victoria, BC , the gardens were originally created to beautify area rock quarries, and the result is quite the incredible feat. The gardens are divided into several sections, including but not limited to a traditional rose garden, a peaceful Japanese tea garden, an Italian garden, and a sunken garden in the rock quarry, with viewing outlook. For kids in particular there is a carrousel, as well as several ice cream stands and snack shops.
Generally 9 am to 9 pm in summer although many summer events allow for later closings and 9 am to 4 pm in winter. The gardens come alive at Christmas time, and have later hours during the season. Winter admission is significantly less except Christmas. The grounds have snack stands as well as three restaurants, from a coffee shop to elegant dining. Picnic grounds are also available in the parking area on a grassy strip. The gardens are located at Benvenuto Avenue in Brentwood Bay.
