The old "Crystal Gardens", a saltwater swimming pool under glass
recycled into a conservatory and endangered animal breeding center,
is, I regret to say, no more. The building is there, but the plants
and animals are gone. Wasn't glitzy enough to satisfy the officials
in the tourism ministry, I guess.
"Butterfly Gardens" is right on the way to Butchart Gardens.
