About VanDusen Botanical Garden
VanDusen Botanical Garden showcases themed gardens, rare plant collections and winding paths that change seasonally with blooms and colours. Highlights include a formal hedge maze, specialty collections (rhododendrons, conifers) and a calendar of events such as the Festival of Lights in winter.
The garden is ideal for photography, relaxed walks and learning about temperate-climate plants; guided tours and a visitor centre add context. It’s family-friendly and makes for a quieter alternative to busier tourist sites during peak season.
