A Little History and A Treetop Photo
We're very fortunate to have a highly-accomplished photographer like Alex Waterhouse-Hayward so interested and appreciative of the garden. I'd like to direct you to a couple recent weblog entries from him featuring UBC BG:
- Suspended Over a Forest, where he writes about his experience on the Greenheart Canopy Walkway at UBC Botanical Garden.
- Gerald Bane Straley & The Ponderosa Pine, where Alex features the garden's former curator of collections, the late Dr. Gerald Straley.

Improving Accessibility in the Garden
A bit of disruption leading to better things.
Many people found the pathway that joins the tunnel to the Food Garden a bit too steep. This winter, contractors with heavy machinery corrected the problem. It's helping us become "A garden accessible to all." This area will become phase 1 of the new Garry Oak Woodland Meadow. Watch for new plantings this spring.
