In collaboration with UBC Botanical Garden, Metro Vancouver has compiled an extensive selection of plants that thrive in our local climate, without needing lots of water or chemicals. Whether you’re working in a yard, or containers on your apartment balcony, our practical approach to sustainable gardening offers great ideas and practical solutions for attractive, healthy lawns and gardens.
