Membership

Starting in August, UBC Botanical Garden and Nitobe Memorial Garden memberships will have a fresh new look. This update is part of our effort to make the membership experience feel more connected to the beauty and changing seasons of the gardens.

If you are a current member with the previous card design, you are welcome to pick up a new card at the Garden as soon as they are available. Your membership benefits remain the same, and your existing card will still be valid.

 

There’s something special about coming back to a place that always welcomes you and always surprises you.

When you become a member at UBC Botanical Garden and Nitobe Memorial Garden, you’ll join a passionate community driven by the connection between people and plants, conservation, sustainability and the creation of impactful hopeful research.

Through education, research, community outreach, and public display of plants, we offer endless opportunities for visitors of all ages to learn about the world around them.

Enjoy unlimited admissions to UBC Botanical Garden and Nitobe Memorial Garden, and much more. The UBC Botanical Garden membership is an investment in your community and a valuable way to help us provide engaging experiences for our many visitors.
