Victoria, BC - The Butchart Gardens is delighted to have received two Readers' Choice awards from the Peninsula News Review, the newspaper covering the Saanich Peninsula.

"For several years running The Gardens has been recognized by Peninsula News readers as the ‘Peninsula's choice for Best Tourist Attraction' and ‘Peninsula's choice for Taking Your Cousin From Out of Town'" said Dave Cowen, general manager of The Gardens. "In combination these awards show we are as appreciated by locals as we are by visitors from around the world."

The Peninsula News Review invites readers to vote for the best businesses in many categories and then recognizes the winners in an annual ceremony.
