Royal Botanical Gardens is a "living museum" that collects, researches, exhibits, conserves and interprets a living horticultural collection. The Horticultural Services department is responsible for both the plant collections and the display gardens. We build and maintain living plant collections of both ornamental and scientific interest. Detailed plant records are maintained, and the plants are labeled and interpreted for the benefit of our visitors. We build and maintain gardens and displays to exhibit our plant collections and to demonstrate the many aesthetic and functional uses of plants. We carry out trials and evaluations on our plants to determine the ones best suited to our geographic area. Gardens and Collections See the diversity of our plant collections throughout our five garden areas. What’s in bloom Don't miss the best blooms of the season.
