Where Life Flourishes
Spring Break Camps at VanDusen
Running from March 16 – 27 our carefully crafted Spring Break day camps are a blend of science, exploration, games and crafts and give children the opportunity to learn and play in the beauty of VanDusen Botanical Garden!
Days are spent almost entirely outdoors. Suitable for children age 5 – 10.
The Home Gardening Series (Online)
Learn from Southern BC’s top horticulture professionals from the comfort of your home.
The Home Gardening Series, a collaboration between the Vancouver Botanical Gardens Association and the Vancouver Chapter of the B.C. Master Gardeners Association, offers a curated selection of gardening topics from the Master Gardener Basic Training curriculum. Designed for both beginners and experienced gardeners, this series provides current gardening knowledge without the commitment of the broader Master Gardener program.
Catching Stories Behind the Lens

In this presentation, she shares how she selects stories, collaborates with scientists, and works in challenging environments, revealing how visual storytelling deepens public understanding of nature.
