UBC Botanical Garden

UBC Botanical Garden is at 6804 S.W. Marine Dr. More than 30,000 plants from around the world are cultivated on 28 hectares (69 acres). Themed gardens include Asian, alpine, perennial, food, medicinal and native plantings. Within the Asian garden is the Greenheart TreeWalk Ecoadventure, a 308-metre (1,010 ft.) aerial trail through a West Coast forest canopy. This experience takes participants across eight bridges more than 20 metres (65 ft.) above ground level to view plants and animals that live in this environment.

Nitobe Memorial Garden, at 1895 Lower Mall, is one of the most authentic Japanese gardens in North America and features a tea garden and stroll garden with seasonal displays of irises, Japanese maples and flowering cherries.
