"The Government House Gardens offer a serene escape just minutes from downtown Victoria in the beautiful Rockland neighbourhood.
Known as the "Ceremonial Home of All British Columbians," the grounds surrounding the Lieutenant Governor's official residence are open to the public and FREE to explore year-round.
The gardens, spread across 36 acres, offer a mix of formal and natural landscapes. You can wander through the rose garden, herb garden, or rugged rock garden. The seasonal blooms ensure there's always something to see, no matter when you visit.
The woodland trails offer a peaceful retreat for nature lovers, with views of the ocean and distant mountains. Deer and many birds are frequent visitors, so watch for wildlife. "
