The VanDusen Botanical Garden is located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada at the intersection of Oak and West 37th Street. The garden covers 55 acres with over 7,000 plants from all over the world. One of the first things that you will notice about this park is their sign "Please walk on the grass!" With something different to see each season, this really is a truly friendly and inspiring garden!
To gain entrance to the gardens, you will have to pay an admission fee. The botanical garden is open seven days a week and is available for wedding ceremonies, receptions and photos. As well, you can book the gardens for filming shoots. The VanDusen Botanical Garden has over 7,500 varieties of plants from all over the world and ten different specialty gardens. It also features an international sculpture collection, an Elizabethan Maze and is home to over 60 different varieties of birds.
The Van Dusen Botanical Garden is a relatively young garden. The site had been leased by the Shaughnessy Golf Club from the Canadian Pacific Railway until 1960, when the golf club moved to a different location. A subdivision was proposed, but local citizens opposed the move. In 1966, the Vancouver Park Board successfully purchased the land to be used as a park. In 1971, development started and on August 30, 1975 the VanDusen Botanical Garden was officially opened to the public.
