Our curated selection of books for gardeners and nature lovers receive many compliments from our visitors. Special emphasis is placed on the Pacific Northwest and local authors, and both the scientific and the aesthetic aspects of gardening are well represented, featuring essential reference works on plant families, pruning, propagation and plant identification, gardening with native plants and the cultivation of fruits and vegetables.
Seeds are collected by our Friends of the Garden volunteers at UBC Botanical Garden. These open-pollinated seeds are $4 per package. The number of seeds in each package varies depending on the type of seed. Please call the shop to confirm availability if you are making a special trip to the shop as some may be sold out at the time of your visit. All members of UBC Botanical Garden receive a 10% discount at the Shop in the Garden.
