More info

The date

Sendall Gardens is under four acres, which is exactly its charm: a compact, lovingly kept botanical garden tucked along Muckle Creek just south of downtown Langley. There is a small tropical greenhouse to warm up in, a gazebo, a water feature, and enough quiet benches that it has become a favourite for engagement and wedding photos. You can walk the whole thing slowly in half an hour and never feel rushed, which makes it the easy romantic pairing for anything happening downtown, a place to keep talking after coffee or before dinner.

How to do it

Enter from 50 Ave and take the path along Muckle Creek at an unhurried pace. Warm up in the small tropical greenhouse, find the gazebo and the water feature, and pick a bench to sit a while. Thirty to forty five minutes covers it, and it is a short hop back to downtown Langley for whatever is next.

What to wear: casual is fine
