Royal Botanical Gardens

680 Plains Road W, Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Tel: +1 905-527-1158

Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton, Ontario is the largest botanical garden in Canada and one of the largest in the world. It is a National Historic Site, and registered charitable organization with a mandate to bring together people, plants and nature.

Royal Botanical Gardens is a member of the American Public Gardens Association and Botanic Gardens Conservation International. Within its 60 documented collections approximately 40,000 plants are displayed in five major garden exhibition areas; the Arboretum, Hendrie Park, Laking Garden, RBG Centre and the Rock Garden.

Royal Botanical Garden's Arboretum is more like an English landscape park than a garden. This is the place where you can see a wide variety of trees and other woody plants up close. It is especially beautiful in spring and fall.

Hendrie Park has something for everyone. This garden truly illustrates the diversity of both plants and garden design. Discover native plants in a cultivated setting and a new look at vegetable gardening.

Laking Garden is home to RBG’s herbaceous perennial collections. The belvedere at the end of the path offers a panoramic view over the entire garden. This garden, overlooked by a small cottage offers the visitor an insight into the depth and breadth of perennial plants.

The Royal Botanical Gardens now has The International Sculpture Collection, which is a permanent collection located in Hendrie Park.

RBG Centre, the Arboretum and Hendrie Park remain open during the winter season.
