Royal Botanical Gardens (RBG) is the largest botanical garden in Canada, a National Historic Site, and registered charitable organization with a mandate is to bring together people, plants and nature.

Charitable donations help us to:

• Protect and restore 2450 acres of nature sanctuaries containing environmentally sensitive habitats, where approx. 50 listed species- at-risk have made their home;
• Teach the public and educate school children about the importance of plants and nature, and how to be environmental stewards in their community;
• Create display gardens which beautify our region landscape and teach people how to transfer best practices into their own backyard;
• Host events that celebrate our landscape and highlight our conservation activities (Fishway demonstrations, nature sanctuary guided tours, children’s winter exhibits); and
• Engage in research projects and networks to pursue environmental sustainability;
