University of British Columbia Botanical Garden

Fodor's Review:

Ten thousand trees, shrubs, and rare plants from around the world thrive on this 70-acre research site on the university campus. The complex includes an Asian garden, a garden of medicinal plants, and an alpine garden with some of the world's rarest plants. A Walk in the Woods is a 20-minute loop that takes you through and past more than 1,000 species of coastal plant life. Guided tours can be arranged in advance.

  • Open: Mid-Mar.-mid-Oct., daily 10-5; mid-Oct.-mid-Mar., daily 10-3.
