VanDusen 50 Year Celebration

Saturday, August 30, 2025 | 10am to 5pm

The Garden will come alive with entertainment, activities and crafts, food vendors, and community connections that honour our roots and look ahead to a blooming future.

Stroll through 55 acres of vibrant plant collections, take a historic tour from our dedicated Garden Guides, and get inspired by hands-on educational and art programming for all ages.

Stop by the Visitor Centre halls to learn from local horticultural societies, watch live performances on the Great Lawn, and connect with fellow plant lovers and nature enthusiasts.

Thank you

This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our dedicated volunteers, Garden members, staff, and community partners. Thank you for helping VanDusen bloom for 50 years and counting.
