Ask Your Plant Questions
UBC Botanical Garden offers two ways to ask gardening or plant-related questions:
Hortline - Call 604.822.5858 on Tuesday and Wednesday from 12 pm to 3 pm to speak with a garden volunteer or student who will help answer your question.
Online Discussion Forums - Ask your question online (and learn from others!) by visiting our web-based plant and gardening community. Please do not send gardening or plant questions via email. Use the forums and benefit from the knowledge of a community of thousands.
