VanDusen Botanical Garden

VanDusen Botanical Garden is a 22-hectare public garden in Vancouver’s Shaughnessy neighbourhood, created on part of the former Shaughnessy Golf Course and opened in 1975 through a partnership involving the Vancouver Foundation, British Columbia, and the City of Vancouver. Designed as a public garden rather than a research institution, it emphasizes landscape design and living displays, combining plants from around the world with a strong focus on native British Columbia species. Its notable features include a large Sino-Himalayan garden, rhododendron displays, a Japanese garden, hedge maze, water features, and giant sequoias. Jointly managed today, it also supports outreach, native-plant reintroduction, citizen science, and year-round public use.
