Located on Marine Drive, the UBC Botanical Garden and Centre for Plant Research is the oldest university botanical garden in Canada. The Botanical Garden was founded in 1916 and today consists of 110 acres. In 2002, the UBC Centre for Plant Research joined with the UBC Botanical Garden, both of which are a part of UBC’s Faculty of Science.

The Botanical Garden is home to more than 8,000 different kinds of plants and contains many different kinds of gardens such as an alpine garden, an Asian garden, and a food garden, among others. The garden also includes the compelling Nitobe Memorial Garden. Lectures, tours, and workshops are held at the Botanical Garden, and an apple festival and a tea ceremony are some of the events that take place there.
