The North Gardens area adjacent to Thunderbird Stadium contains the EH Lohbrunner Alpine Garden, Winter Garden, Food Garden, Arbour Garden, Perennial Borders Garden, Physic Garden, BC Native Garden and the Carolinian Forest. West of Marine Drive is the 12-hectare David C Lam Asian Garden, which also includes the spectacular Greenheart Canopy Walkway, the only treetop walkway of its kind in Canada and one of only two in North America.
The 308-metre walkway, which reaches heights in excess of 17.5 metres, enables visitors and researchers to experience the unique biodiversity of a Pacific Coastal Rainforest canopy, which includes treetop mosses, lichens, birds, insects and other invertebrates, and offers “bird’s eye” views of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser River.
