UBC Botanical Garden is Canada's oldest continuously operating university botanical garden. The original mission of the garden was research into the native flora of British Columbia. Over the past nine decades, our mission has broadened to include research, conservation, teaching and public display of temperate plants from around the world, particularly Asian, alpine and native plants. We’re also home to the Greenheart Canopy Walkway.Come visit us - we’re located at 6804 SW Marine Drive, Vancouver, BC. You can find more info at botanicalgarden.ubc.ca |
UBC Botanical Garden is a "green classroom" -- A place where plants of all shapes and sizes lead fascinating lives, with their secrets waiting to be discovered by garden visitors, school groups, and researchers. With a vast array of living collections and green space at the Garden, the public can expand their understanding of plant taxonomy, horticulture, bryology, landscape design, conservation biology, agroecology, biogeography, and more via our educational tours.
