Answer: Limestone
These are breathtaking gardens, well worth the visit if you are in the vicinity. They are created around a series of 'rooms' (Japanese, Mediterranean, Italian, and roses - more than 580 varieties - along with several other styles) and the Ross Fountain is a focal point that should not be missed.
The limestone quarry, from which the gardens were created as the brainchild of Jennie Butchart, supplied the Canadian Pacific Railway with some of the raw materials when it was decided to replace their aging wooden bridges with something more durable. Jennie and her husband Robert gradually created the gardens, even sacrificing the tennis courts to the project. After their deaths the gardens fell into disrepair, but their grandson, Ian Ross, took up the challenge and repaired and developed them. It is after Ian that the fountain was named. The garden is still in the hands of the Butchart family.
