Perfect getaway into nature within the city!
Such a peaceful little garden... There are a million nooks and crannys with beautiful views. There's usually no one around too and the ground is incredibly soft.
For the biologists and plant lovers, seeing a garden with only native plants is exciting as well, really makes you think about how much humans affect/change nature.
A tiny little native plant garden across from the Oak Bay Beach Hotel. There are lots of memorial benches there to sit on and reflect and enjoy the shade or the sounds of the birds. There is a small pond and not much in bloom when I went but will go back another time of year to see what's happening. It doesn't take long to check it out so worthy of a visit if you need a short time out in nature.
Nice place and relaxing.
Though this garden is not large, in its shining time, the springtime, it has a beautiful assortment of native flowers such as Erythronium (White Fawn Lily), Trillium, and other beauties. It is free and has a little chip trail that one can stroll around. It is a great addition to any walk around Oak Bay. It is very close to the Oak Bay Beach Hotel, so guests there could enjoy this little local gem.
