The VanDusen Garden is both a display garden and a botanical garden. The layout and planting of the main gardens is gardenesque, with flowing paths and exotic plants in a naturalistic composition. There are also a number of Theme Gardens including a Meditation Garden, Rose Garden, Stone Garden, Korean Garden, Perennial Garden, Herb Garden and Canadian Heritage Garden. The Elizabethan maze is planted with 3,000 Pyramid cedars. The Laburnum Walk (at its best in late May) is under-planted with bluebells and alliums. The garden has the largest collection of hollies in Canada.
