If you want a stroll through a heavily forested park, this is your place. The gift shop has seeds, gifts, plants and plenty of gardening books for adults and children.Full review by bonniew61
What are the gardens like during the end of October? Have most of the plants died back? We're visiting at the end of the month and I really want to go to the gardens but if there isn't much to see then I'll wait to revisit in the spring/ summer. Thanks!

I would agree with Stephen. The gardens are beautiful, well cared for and have a wide variety of plans and animal life. I think any time of year would work fine.
Is April and/or May a good time to visit for many blooms this year (2017)? If not, would later be better for this area? Was curious when most flowers might be in bloom for this year or generally in this climate/region. Thank you for your time and expertise! Excited to visit for the first time.

Magnolias and rhododendrons have just started to bloom! We've had an incredibly cold and snowy winter, so we are far behind what we've been experiencing in the past few years. While you could certainly see blooms in April, you will likely see more in May and/or throughout the summer. Excited to have you come visit!

The gardens are not free. It cost about $20 Canadian for entry and that will get you entry into the garden, plus the Greenheart canopy walkway. You can find out more on the rates at UBC Botanical Gardens website.
