VanDusen Botanical Garden

Botanical Garden Natural Point of Interest Park

Data Points

In 1970 the Vancouver Foundation, the British Columbia provincial government, and the city of Vancouver signed an agreement to provide the funding to develop a public garden on part of the old Shaughnessy Golf Course. It is named for local lumberman and philanthropist Whitford Julian VanDusen. The Botanical Garden opened to the public on August 30, 1975. The Garden covers 22 hectares (55 acres). In addition to displays of plants from all over the world, there is an extensive collection of native British Columbia (Northwest Coast) plants. A recently launched "re-wilding" outreach program aims to rescue and propagate native plants for reintroduction into Vancouver's regional parks.
