Butchart Gardens announces annual two-week winter closure to allow staff to rest

The holiday season at the Butchart Gardens has come to a close.

Similar to previous years, Butchart Gardens is celebrating another successful festive season of lights and joy by allowing the staff a much-needed break after all of their hard work.

They will be closing their gates on Monday, January 20th, and will return refreshed and ready for customers on Monday, February 3rd.

For those with a yearly pass, don’t worry about missing out! The Gardens is extending all passes valid between January 20th and February 2nd by 14 days to account for the closure, so you won’t lose any time.

The Christmas decorations were officially taken down on January 6th, but the garden has returned to its regular season glory, where the flowers, shrubs, trees, and beautiful landscaping are the main stars of the show. 

So if you’re hoping to sneak in some garden time before they close for a bit, now’s your chance!
