A definite must is the Bouchard Gardens near Victoria on Vancouver
Island,  British Columbia, Canada.  Story has it that the land was
originally a great huge pit mine which the wife of the owner decided to
replant.  There a wonderful pictures of Mrs. Bouchard sitting in a
bosun's chair half way down the face of the mining cliff, planting it.

A beautiful MUST.
