Animals aren't the only natural wonders we get to enjoy in our little island paradise.   Victoria is sometimes referred to as "The Garden City" and that's not surprising given To see all the plant photos, visit the DDS gallery on my website. the vast variety of flowers and plants that make our city and region such a colourful place to live.  Aside from the trees and vines and shrubs, we are lucky to have some wonderful flowers in various gardens throughout the captial region.

One of the best gardens in the city is the large garden at the Lieutenant Governer General's residence on Rockland Avenue.  There is a beautiful fenced-in rose garden that has roses of all shapes and sizes and colours; and there are other varieties of plants and trees spread out across the grounds there that it's definitely worth visiting a few times a year.

Of course, there's a reason the beautiful rose garden is fenced in!!
