Visited several times, but last time was 1995. Took hundred of photos over the years. Looks like the gift shop and tea room have been greatly expanded, but the rest of the gardens seem to have the same lay-out. Beautiful place... to think it was built out of the remains of an old stone quarry is amazing. For Jennie Butchart it was a labour of love. Check out the history of this wonderland on Wikipedia.
