Gifts of Plants to UBC Botanical Garden

In rare instances, UBC Botanical Garden accepts gifts of plants, garden structures and other garden-related materials. However, all gifts must be justifiable in terms of the Garden’s mission and policies as determined by UBC Botanical Garden management.

Curatorial & Funding Criteria
There is limited space in the Garden for new plants and garden structures. There is no general funding allotted for the digging, transportation and re-planting. The Garden gives priority to plants of known wild origin, recorded and documented provenance and (in the case of cultivated plants) known pedigree. Donors must be willing to incur the expenses related to transportation and relocation.

Only those plants and materials that satisfy all of the necessary curatorial criteria and that can be installed at no-cost to the Garden can be considered. If you have a donation that satisfies the aforementioned criteria, please contact us via the contact details in the sidebar to the left.

The Garden can accept gifts in many forms. For more information, please visit UBC’s Ways to Give.
