Protecting VanDusen’s Trees for Tomorrow
VanDusen Botanical Garden’s oldest trees need our help.
If you’ve noticed leaves browning early or smaller blooms around the Gardens lately, our trees are trying to tell us something isn’t right. Hotter, drier summers and sudden cold snaps are putting them under extra stress. We’re doing everything we can through our Climate Adaptation Fund, aiming to raise $1M by 2030 to give them extra care — but we can’t do it alone.
If you’re able to donate today, your support goes a long way.
