| Entrance to Tofino Botanical Gardens, Tofino, British Columbia |
Canada is a huge country with borders stretching from the western coast to the eastern coast, as well as to the northern most coast of the North American continent.
Our only land border is our southern border running along the entire United States.

The province of British Columbia, located on the western coast, just above California, is the warmest province in Canada.
Because of its mild weather, B.C.
( British Columbia) is famous for its flowers and gardens.

The Tofino Botanical Garden is an amazing garden with many interesting features to enjoy!
 |
| A space for community gardening |
It encourages community gardening.
The botanical garden provides a space for a community garden where people have planted plants and herbs neatly within certain designated area.
This garden is more than just flowers and plants.

The most special feature about this garden is the numerous wooden sculptures standing among the plants and shrubs.
We saw many wood carvings of animals, birds and people throughout the garden.
We enjoyed walking among beautiful flowers, admiring these huge wooden art pieces and learning about their names and artists.

| My favorite sculpture in the garden named - The Couple |
My favourite sculpture was the piece named The Couple.
There is even a children’s garden within this botanical garden.

| A scary sculpture lurking under a tree in the Children's Garden |
We came across a scary sculpture lurking under one of the trees there too!
I think the kids would like the surprises in this garden.
 |
| The Darwin's Cafe inside Tofino Botanical Gardens |
We found a cafe in the garden where visitors could rest their tired feet and enjoy a beverage amid this tranquil surrounding.
It started to drizzle a little, so we stayed inside this rustic gazebo.
Looking out from this gazebo, right in front of us was a beautiful pond and behind it the Pacific Ocean!

Despite the drizzle, we continued walking on the winding paths leading us to explore the fabulous sculptures and other things in the gardens.
There was a station with a display and explanation of how canoes were made.
There were so much to see and observe; we could have easily spend a half day enjoying all the sculptures in this marvelous garden!
It started raining cats and dogs; we had to finish our tour of the gardens in a haste.
I love gardening and I always enjoy garden tour. Despite the rain, we had a good visit to this sculpture and flower garden!
Thanks to R., my sister who put this garden on our itinerary of the west coast tour.
