University of Alberta Botanic Garden, Botanical garden and arboretum in Parkland County, Canada.

The University of Alberta Botanic Garden stretches across 97 hectares of land, featuring cultivated gardens, plant collections, and three indoor showhouses for year-round visits.

The garden opened in 1959 as a field laboratory for the University of Alberta's botany department and underwent major renovations following flood damage in the 1970s.

The Aga Khan Garden includes forest paths and fruit orchards, while the Kurimoto Japanese Garden contains traditional pagodas and ornamental structures across five acres.

Located 15 minutes southwest of Edmonton, the garden maintains over 4,000 plant species and provides educational programs focused on plant science and conservation.

The garden extends over ancient sand dune shoreline and contains a digitized herbarium with an extensive collection of bryophyte specimens for scientific research.
