Post a CommentImpressive garden :) The first pic reminds me of a painting :)
I am amazed - I never heard of these gardens and they are amazing!
I missed these before. I remember climbing the stairs to the mound in the sunken garden. REALLY enjoyed these pics as they brought back such great memories. Thanks so much for posting them.
It's hard to believe the first two photographs are photographs! They look like paintings! Gorgeous pictures as always! You need to make a coffee table book--seriously you do!
Wow, that is a really cool place. Thanks for sharing. It's cloudy, cold and rainy here in Ohio and I needed to see some color and sunshine. :)
Great pictures! That first one, especially, looks like a painting.
Love Vancouver, and Canada cares so much about the environment and horticulture!!
Very very beautiful, it looks like a painting in image.

What a paradise on Earth! Thank you for sharing!
