UBC Botanical Garden

Immerse yourself in the world of wild-collected plants at UBC Botanical Garden. Known as the “Garden of Many Gardens,” stroll through the Asian Garden with more than 400 kinds of rhododendrons, discover native plants in the BC Rainforest Garden, travel the continents in the Alpine Garden, step back in time in the traditional Physic Garden, discover food-growing techniques in the Food Garden, and much more. Finish your visit at the Shop in the Garden and Garden Centre, where plants of your own await!

Greenheart TreeWalk

Explore the forest from new perspectives! Navigate suspended walkways and tree platforms stretching 310 metres among towering Douglas firs, cedars, and grand firs, some over 100 years old, offering a rare bird’s-eye view of Vancouver’s coastal rainforest and promising an adventure for kids and adults alike.

Nitobe Memorial Garden

Nitobe Memorial Garden is a living expression of harmony, where traditional Japanese landscape design meets the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Through every season—from spring’s cherry blossoms to winter’s quiet stillness—the Garden invites reflection and renewal. Honouring both Japanese and local plant species, it symbolizes respect, resilience, and the transformative beauty of change.
