UBC Botanical Garden is Canada's oldest university botanical garden, located on the Vancouver campus of the University of British Columbia in the University Endowment Lands adjacent to Vancouver, British Columbia.

The garden spans 44 hectares (110 acres) and features diverse living collections including alpine and rainforest ecosystems, themed gardens, one of North America's most authentic Japanese gardens called David C. Lam Asian Garden, and a 310-meter canopy walkway offering treetop adventures and breathtaking forest views.

Founded to support education, research, conservation, community outreach, and public display, it maintains a documented living collection of temperate plants and connects visitors with nature through programs, expert-led tours, and interactive maps that help identify plant species and landmarks across the trails.

The garden is open Tuesday through Sundays with seasonal variations, offers admission that supports conservation and research initiatives, includes a Garden Cafe serving coffee and snacks, allows picnics in designated areas, and provides accessible pathways throughout the Asian Garden for guests with mobility challenges.
