Our mail order seed catalogue began in 1920 when Jennie Butchart began packaging seed to satisfy myriad requests from visitors world wide. Still individually packaged by hand, our seed business today provides winter work for our many dedicated staff.

Open every day, you will find yourself greeted by knowledgeable, friendly staff among 800 sq. m. (8,600 sq. ft.) of gifts and souvenirs including an impressive range of products made by local artisans. Perhaps of special interest are items for the gardener, jewellery and clothing. Our experience shows most visitors spend approximately 45 minutes in the gift store.

Did you know? We permit dedicated shoppers to enter The Gardens for 30 minutes to shop in the Seed & Gift Store without charging admission. Simply provide a credit card imprint or purchase a ticket which will be refunded upon your departure. During the Magic of Christmas, Special Event days and on Fireworks Saturdays complimentary shopping is permitted from 9am to 3pm only. Why not consider a 12 Month Pass for added convenience and savings?

In support of many talented artisans living in our area, The Gallery is open spring through autumn. Featured is art for both the home and the garden displayed in a garden setting. Look for unique metal-art, statues and glass works to enhance your home and garden.
