1. Abkhazi Garden and Tea Room

OAK BAY.   In 1946 the exiled Georgian Prince Nicholas Abkhazi and his new wife Marjorie (Peggy) Pemberton-Carter began what would become an ever-evolving landscape masterpiece. The grounds consist of a series of "rooms," each with its own distinct personality: a Rhododendron Woodland Garden, the open space of the South Lawn, and the "Yangtze River" named for the view from Peggy's former Shanghai home. Historic buildings dot the property, and afternoon tea in the mansion (inside the Abkhazi's former parlor) is a must. The history of this garden and its original owners is fascinating – don't miss it!   (© 10Best)
