Central Saanich

Central Saanich is best known in British Columbia for Butchart Gardens, created on the site of a former limestone quarry near Brentwood Bay. The municipality occupies a broad section of the Saanich Peninsula, where working farms, market gardens and rural roads remain central to the local character. Its western side meets Saanich Inlet, a long coastal arm separating the peninsula from Vancouver Island’s interior. The gardens were developed by Jennie Butchart in the early 20th century and remain one of the region’s most recognised horticultural destinations.
