🌿 A Place Where Time Slows Down
When Lyric Estrella visits VanDusen Botanical Garden, it’s never just a stroll—it’s an emotional reset.
Nestled in the heart of Vancouver, this sprawling 55-acre paradise offers more than just a pretty backdrop. For Lyric, a woman who finds joy in the poetic layers of life, VanDusen is a sacred kind of luxury. “I love how every corner has its own mood,” she says, stepping beneath a weeping birch. “It’s like walking through someone’s memories, slowly unfolding with each step.”
🌸 Sensory Bliss in Every Step
From the moment she enters through the wooden gates, Lyric is visibly happy. The earthy scent of cedar mulch, the light flutter of butterfly wings near the pollinator garden, and the hush of the bamboo grove—all seem to tune her into a deeper sense of calm. As someone who craves meaningful moments over material excess, this garden is her kind of indulgence.
🌀 The Joy of Playful Discovery
She often begins near the stone-framed maze, laughing softly at the childlike wonder it brings. “I know it’s meant for kids, but I really like it,” she grins. “There’s something freeing about getting a little lost—and then finding your way out again.”
🌍 A Global Garden Experience
Winding through themed gardens—Mediterranean, Japanese, and the impressive Canadian heritage garden—Lyric moves slowly, attentively. She pauses often: to observe textures of moss, to admire a lotus bloom, to close her eyes and simply breathe.
🧘♀️ Space to Reconnect With Self
“Being here makes me feel more myself,” she confides while sitting by the reflecting pond, dragonflies hovering above still water. “It’s not just peaceful—it’s generous. Like the garden is giving you time to remember who you are.”
💕 A Perfect Date for Presence and Connection
Whether you’re a client who loves deep conversations or one who simply wants to share a few quiet moments surrounded by beauty, Lyric believes VanDusen is the perfect date setting. “You don’t have to impress anyone here,” she says. “Just be present. That’s what I appreciate most.”
