Bobby was a great guide and took us to some of the most beautiful sites to see in Vancouver. The gardens and parks were spectacular! Bobby was very knowledgable about the wonderful gardens but also about Vancouver history. Highlight were the giant parrots!
Stunning gardens …

I’ve been to many botanic gardens around the world and can honestly say this is one of the best. The architecture of the site is stunning. The different climate zones blend into one-another. And within each, the layered plantmanship is beautiful. The grounds are meticulously cared for; nothing is out of place. The whole garden comes together beautifully and is in harmony with the sustainable and self-sufficient visitor centre. We were lucky enough to see this garden spectacle on a warm sunny day. Entry is cheap. The cafe served tasty food, again at reasonable prices. Go and spend a few hours there, you’ll feel refreshed.
For a relaxing afternoon

A wonderful garden for the afternoon! Unfortunately, not everyone was! Plants written. We enjoyed the soft grass under our feet.
