The last time we visited was thirty years ago on our honeymoon. We were charmed by it then, even though it was raining. Yesterday was a wonderful sunny day and as we left the garden and drove throught the dreary commercial strip and along the bill board marked road I had a very zen thought. What if the total beauty that can be appreciated in a area has to remain constant. Call it the Total Beauty Appreciation (TBA). For the mathematicians: the Beauty (on a 1 to 10 scale) times the number of viewers at X locations in an area is a constant. So if the number of viewers of Butchard Gardens increases and the beauty of the gardens is enhanced an area nearby will have an equal and opposite decrease in its beauty.
