Membership Terms 

• When you purchase a membership, you become a designated pass holder and member of the Vancouver Botanical Gardens Association (VBGA). VBGA and Vancouver Park Board are joint operating partners of Vancouver Botanical Garden and Bloedel Conservatory.  
• You will be asked to provide valid picture ID (e.g., BC Driver’s License, BCID, BC Services Card, passport) to purchase a membership. 
• Each member becomes a designated pass holder and will receive a membership card that contains a barcode with a unique pass number. Members gain entry to the Garden and Conservatory by scanning the barcode on their valid membership card. If a member forgets their membership card, they can gain entry to the Garden and Conservatory by visiting the Membership or Admissions Desk and a service associate will manually validate a member’s identity and membership with photo on file and/or valid ID. 
• When a membership is purchased, a photo is taken of each member (designated pass holder) and saved to their personal membership account, which is stored on the Vancouver Park Board recreation (ActiveNet) system; this allows for validation of identity and active membership each time the membership card is scanned for entry into the Garden and Conservatory. If the membership is purchased online or over the phone, a photo will be taken when the member visits the Garden to pick up their new membership card.

We will send you two reminder emails (if an email address is provided, if no email, we will send letter mail) during the month of expiry, prior to the auto-renewal.
