The Cottagers wife happened to be up on the Sunshine Coast on the long week end as well and suggested that we meet at the Sechelt Botanical Gardens for a guided tour. Neither Nancy or I had heard of such a place But thought a guided tour would be great way to spend an afternoon.
When we arrived there was one other person waiting for the tour and so the 5 of us set out around the gardens. The gardens are only a couple of years old, and still very much a work in progress, but interesting to walk around. The land used to be a tree nursery and there were several trees left on the property some of them in rows as they were during the time of the nursery. The trees have now grown up and in a couple of places created rather lovely avenues that they hope to utilize in the future.

They have visions of wedding parties walking down the avenue to the Pavilion which is rented out for events and certainly would be a wonderful place for a wedding overlooking the gardens.
