Shop in the Garden and Garden Centre Update
As the days lengthen, we start to notice the garden that we have ignored through the dark days of winter. The Shop in the Garden has all the tools and seeds you might need to tidy before spring.
There is a large selection of gloves to protect your hands from the cold and wet, from abrasion, and, of course, from thorns and prickles. We have an array of pruners, trimmers and scissors to get a start on winter tidy up.
The very popular Original Garden Broom, made in Sri Lanka from coconut fronds, fibre and shell, functions like a cross between a traditional corn broom and a rake. The stiff bristles of this sturdy sweeper will pull wet leaves from gravel and pavement and will not soften or rot when wet. In the Garden Centre we have Hellebores and potted winter flowers to brighten your entrance and invite spring to your mood.
For the end of the day, we have tea sets and mugs for warming up while you enjoy a new selection from our renowned book shelves.
With complimentary parking (register at the ticket machine for 3 hours free) and a relaxed atmosphere, the Shop in the Garden is ideal for thoughtful purchasing decisions. All profits from the Shop help support the Garden. The Shop is open 7 days a week, from 9:30am to 5:00pm.
Consider purchasing or gifting a membership to the UBC Botanical Garden to enjoy unlimited visits during our seasonal operations and a 10% discount* on most purchases.
