With a collection of 22,000 plant species and cultivars, 10 exhibition greenhouses, and more than 20 thematic gardens spread out over 75 hectares (190 acres), it is also one of the largest botanical gardens in the world. Among its masterpieces are the Chinese, Japanese and First Nations Gardens, offering visitors the opportunity to discover diverse cultural and scenic experiences in one location.
