 Visitors

plants and informative signs.UBC Botanical Garden is also a "hidden gem" of a
garden; it is not as widely known as other Vancouver attractions, so visitors
can expect a quiet visit away from crowds.

When is the best time to visit UBC Botanical Garden ?
|
Vancouver's maritime climate allow plants to be of
interest throughout the year, with some plants flowering in December and
January. However, for the most impressive floral displays, the months of April
and May are particularly good, featuring magnolias, rhododendrons and spring
ephemerals. The summer heat brings out the best in the Alpine Garden. September
and October are best for viewing autumn colours and harvestable fruits and
vegetables in the Food Garden.
|
How long does it take to tour the UBC Botanical Garden ?
|
A minimum of one hour is advised. With a brisk walk, this
will give an idea of the size and variety of the garden. However, at a leisurely
pace, one hour is barely enough time to tour either the Asian Garden or the
Alpine Garden.
