Geocache Description:



KC and I found a cache in this park years ago. He happened to mention this spot had freed up and I happen to live about 200 meters away. It's a magical garden mainly as it is so tiny and so lush. I hid this cache with Dog_Cachers in mind. A perfect place for healing.

From the Oak Bay Hertiage website:

The Native Plant garden is closely associated with the founding settlers of Oak Bay. The original site was part of the home and garden of Arden, designed by Samuel Maclure for Ada and Hugo Beaven in 1908? Mrs. Beaven was the former Ada Pemberton, daughter of JD Pemberton, one of Oak Bay's original four private landowners and Surveyor General of BC. The site of Arden was part of the Pemberton estate. Hugo Beavan was the son of BC Premier Robert Beaven (1882-1883), who also served as Mayor of Victoria. In 1939 Mrs. Beaven donated 0.52 acres of her property to the Municipality of Oak Bay to be used as a native plant park. In keeping with Mrs. Beaven's wishes, the Municipality has maintained the property in its natural state, two ponds from the original Mclure plans still exist, and the fight against non-native invasive species by dedicated Friends of the Native Plant Garden is on going.
