Itinerary and highlights
Along with the wondrous plants this garden holds, the VanDusen Botanical Garden also houses a significant sculpture collection that featuring artists such as Bill Reid, David Marshall, and Sebastian. The International Sculpture Symposium, held here in 1975, created 11 original works to begin the permanent collection and it has expanded since then. For the architecture lovers, the Garden's multi-award winning LEED Platinum Visitor Centre was named Most Sustainable Building of the Year in 2014. Shaped like an orchid when viewed from above, its organic lines echo the way nature and conservation have been considered at every turn. VanDusen has something for everyone to enjoy!
