Right in the middle of Vancouver is the VanDusen Botanical Garden. 55 acres that were originally owned and logged by the Canadian Pacific Railway, which then became the Shaughnessy Golf Club, which then were rescued and rehabbed due to the generosity of (you guessed it) a Mr. VanDusen. Year-round glory with 7,500 kinds of plants that are scientifically organized before being carefully documented and labelled. Pat got these pictures and a preview of her own gardening when she gets back home.
Then we left town for a post-Olympic trip into the interior of B.C. What a lucky strike!
