Autumn Garden Insights 2025

There is a calm, serene autumn vibe beginning to set in here at The Butchart Gardens. For me, this is one of my favourite seasons, and to witness the transformation from summer to fall is truly spectacular. Crisp cool air, pretty autumn flowers and electrifying fall foliage set the stage for an unimaginable visit our guests will enjoy during the autumn months, and not to mention smaller crowds. It’s welcoming to see fiery colours and precipitation return, reminding us all that autumn is here.
