The gardens are fully handicap accessible, so if your hubby is not able to walk he can still enjoy the sights. June in the PNW is a very unstable month.......sometimes we can have wonderful weather characteristic of early summer but more often, June is just an extension of a seemingly endless cold and wet spring. Provided the weather cooperates at least marginally, you will see a great late spring show in June - rhodies and azaleas, early perennials like iris and peonies and Butchart's always wonderful display of bedded out annuals. One can usually plan on great weather in September......that month is often the best weather of the entire year around here and the gardens look stunning then too. If you visit the garden's website, you can investigate what the garden offers in all 5 seasons (Christmas is considered a season all on its own!). Here is a link that might be useful: Butchart's - 5 season virtual tour

I agree finchelover, that Butchart Gardens is the best. I live outside of St. Louis and always felt Missouri Botanical Gardens was the best. Now, I feel we have the second best. I never saw so many large, lush plants. With snapdragons taller than me, etc., it was like a garden on steroids. I would return in a minute. Even DH tells others about it. Teresa

Sorry again Doug, bumping down, others please look, these series of photos are fantastic, we just need to have some newer posts

They were all brilliant pics, I had thought of bumping them too Alison in case others were missing the lower Posts. I liked all the pis too. Heather
