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. D.Katz
