The Botanic Garden at the University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF), also associated with PARS (Post-graduate Agriculture Research Station), is a well-established research and educational facility located in Faisalabad, Pakistan.

The garden serves as a research laboratory, training center, reference facility, and permanent data storehouse for plants, particularly endangered and threatened flora of the region. The University of Agriculture Faisalabad has both an Old Botanic Garden, which contains over 150 plant species organized by family with trees, shrubs, palms, herbs from Asia, Africa, Europe, and North and South America, and has been actively establishing a New Botanical Garden spread over 13 to 25 acres of land.

The botanic garden supports postgraduate and faculty research in the Department of Botany and has collected more than 75 plant species, mainly palms and gymnosperms, from nurseries in Faisalabad, Lahore, and Patoki regions for establishment in the New Botanic Garden.

The facility plays a key role in conserving native and exotic flora for scientific and educational purposes and helps identify Pakistan's plant resources as part of the government's plans to explore natural resources. In March 2022, the Vice Chancellor inaugurated a science exhibition and botanical garden at UAF Community College PARS, demonstrating the garden's active role in community engagement.
