VanDusen Botanical Garden is probably the premier garden operated by the Vancouver Parks Board. It used to be a golf course but became a public garden in 1975. We try to visit frequently.

Fall colour
This fall (2021) was wet and stormy but we managed one visit when the day was sunny and the colours were magnificent.
