UBC Botanical Garden

UBC Botanical Garden, founded in 1916, is the oldest botanical garden at a Canadian university and serves both as a public garden and a research institute within the University of British Columbia. Its roots reach back to John Davidson’s earlier botanical work in Coquitlam before the collection was moved to UBC at West Point Grey. Over time it expanded from the old arboretum to its present site, with leadership from T.M.C. Taylor and Roy Taylor and support from the Friends of the Garden. Now covering about 44 hectares, it maintains roughly 30,000 plants for research, teaching, conservation, and public display, alongside major educational programs and related gardens.
