    The key word to read in Kitty Coleman Woodland Gardens is "woodland." Because if you arrive at time other than peak rhododendron blooming season, woodland makes up the majority of what you'll see here. But that's the whole point, right?
    Spread over many acres, there are some fantastic forest trails to be walked (but take one of the trail maps at the honour-system entrance area - it's super easy to get lost!), leading through prehistoric-looking glades overgrown by natural flora, bypassing huge driftwood logs stuck unnaturally into the earth along the way.
    Pretty little lakes and ponds reflect perfect skies and trees in their still waters, and birds are abundant. For a civilized taste of northern Vancouver Island's forests, look no further.
