Today Cherry Ong is taking us to visit Hatley Castle in Victoria, British Columbia.
This estate garden at the Royal Roads University in Victoria, British Columbia, is magnificent, regal, and majestic. You may recognize the castle from the movies or TV, and I will leave it up to you to figure out where you’ve seen it. The castle has an amazing view of the Esquimalt Lagoon and the Olympic Mountains, I think the view of the formal Italian garden from the terrace of the castle is the best of all.
The formal gardens were designed in a very classic, traditional style: crisp, geometric lines with trimmed hedges.
I love the way this entrance frames the view and guides the eye down the path to the next gate in the distance.

Wow! A feast of textures - thanks for sharing. I never thought to use Dusty Miller en masse, but now I am imagining where I can do that…
Glad you love it too!
OMG such beauty! The plants the garden walls and paths etc.
What a dream this house and garden is!
Yes it is. Been back in dreary November when most of the annuals have been removed and it is still beautiful.
Wowza! This place is gorgeous... I thought the same thing about the dusty miller planting - wonderful. Thanks for sharing this great location.
Nice photos of a great garden. On the list should we ever travel again.
