One doesn't need to be an avid gardener to appreciate Mother Nature at her finest. Local parks and gardens can be an inspiration for novice and experienced gardeners alike, especially for those who are new to our area. The range and diversity of plants that can be found in Canada's Pacific Northwest is enormous, and our local parks and gardens are some of the best places to see them.
There are, of course, many more gardens in our area than I have listed in detail, however, these are some of the best and surely worth your visit.
The following is an additional list of gardens, which you might like to visit.
