Bellingrath Gardens lights show worth a detour
An enchanting garden of waterfalls, roses, pools and camellias during the day. Bellingrath Gardens is even more. Some places are so exceptional they merit a detour on the way to a final destination. Bellingrath Gardens, south of Mobile, is just such a place. The home and gardens are worth a visit any time of year but during its “Magic Christmas in Lights” you truly have stepped into a fantasy world.
Butchart Gardens is a blooming wonderland
Every path leads to another spectacular view. It’s Fantasyland for the horticulturist and Wonderworld for the masses. Famed Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, is a blue-ribbon showplace in one of the loveliest corners of the world. Visitors marvel at the variety and harmony achieved by co-mingling easily recognizable flowers like dainty purple daisies and ruffled pink geraniums with unusual specimens such as teardrop fuchsia and delicate drooping trout lily. Since passing the century mark in 2004, privately owned Butchart Gardens has featured more spectacular scenes than ever within its 55 acres.
