"Located just outside Victoria, B.C., this celebrated garden is widely regarded by readers as a must-visit West Coast attraction. Voters highlighted it as a top highlight when exploring Victoria’s stately British architecture and abundant green spaces, making it a go-to stop for those seeking the area’s signature horticultural and scenic appeal." - Hannah Walhout Hannah Walhout Hannah Walhout is a senior editor at Travel + Leisure, where she edits the Discoveries section of the print magazine and develops longer stories focusing on food, wine, and spirits.
