Description

The picture was taken in the VanDusen Botanical Garden.

Named for local lumberman and philanthropist Whitford Julian VanDusen , it has been a public garden since its opening on August 30, 1975.
VanDusen Botanical Garden is located in the Shaughnessy neighbourhood of Vancouver at the North West corner of 37th and Oak Street. The garden is open to the public every day of the year except Christmas. The Garden covers 22 hectares (55 acres) and displays plants gathered from all over the world.

Special features in the garden include carved totem poles, large stone sculptures, and a Korean Pavilion at the edge of the Asian plant collection. Children, in particular, enjoy the maze situated adjacent to the heirloom vegetable garden.

Horticulturally, visitors find a large collection of species and hybrid Rhododendron, cultivars of Fagus sylvatica, as well as collections of Sorbus, Fraxinus and Magnolia.

Specialized niche plantings include a Heather garden, a "black" garden, a seasonal "Laburnum Walk", a majestic stand of sequoiadendron giganteum, a cypress pond, a formal perennial garden, a heritage vegetable garden (seasonal), a fragrance garden (seasonal) and a large sino-Himalayan garden.

R. Roy Forster was recognized with the Order of Canada on April 14, 1999, for his work in creating the gardens.
