We spent a beautiful day in the Montreal Botanical Gardens and were thoroughly impressed.  We enjoyed ourselves here far more than at Butchart gardens in Victoria near the start of our trip – and they are ‘meant’ to be much better than these ones.  There was an amazing Chinese garden which we spent hours in, a Japanese garden, a rock garden, water garden, Canadian garden, a Lilac garden and a few others.  It was kinda ironic to love the Chinese garden best in Canada!  It was huge though and a lovely place to be.

We also spent a lot of time amongst the Lilac’s, Soph you were so right, they are gorgeous and the fragrance is heavenly…  Our photos are here.
