About the garden's

TOFINO BOTANICAL GARDENS
Tofino Botanical Gardens are twelve acres of gardens, forest, and shoreline that explore the relationship between culture and nature. The gardens are operated by the Tofino Botanical Gardens Foundation, a non-profit registered Canadian charity.
A network of paths and boardwalks will take you from the Visitor Centre past kitchen gardens, the Frog Pond, and Children's Garden into the forest, where clearings have been transformed into a series of pocket gardens.
Some of these gardens display plants that once thrived in other coastal temperate rainforests around the world. Others celebrate the various cultural groups that have made Clayoquot Sound their home now and in the past, particularly the Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations, early pioneer homesteaders, Japanese fishing families, and, of course, Hippies.
The mission of Tofino Botanical Gardens is to inspire conservation of the world’s Temperate Coastal Rainforests
We are dedicated to the cultivation and display of plants native to the world’s coastal temperate rainforests, and to research and education programs to improve knowledge and understanding of the ecosystems of the UNESCO Clayoquot Sound Biosphere Reserve.
We hope that Tofino Botanical Gardens will help people of all ages to develop an interested and caring attitude that will encourage them to take action for temperate coastal rainforest conservation.
We believe in the Preservation of the last remaining Old Growth Forests of Clayoquot Sound.
We understand that a sense of humor helps in this effort.
Tofino Botanical Gardens is a non-profit Foundation.Thank you for your support
