Welcome to the UBC Botanical Garden Forums.
Thank you for visiting the University of British Columbia Botanical Garden forums! UBC Botanical Garden is located in Vancouver, Canada. The garden provides these forums for discussions on gardening (with an emphasis on the Pacific Northwest of North America, but not exclusively), the science of plants and related biodiversity, UBC Botanical Garden, indoor & greenhouse plants, Japanese gardening, maples, conifers, aroids and ornamental cherries -- all with input from UBC researchers, staff and volunteers and other contributing experts.
