About Memorial University Botanical Garden
The Memorial University Botanical Garden features diverse collections including rock gardens, pollinator plantings and an educational greenhouse with seasonal displays. Well-marked trails wind through planted beds, native species areas and varied garden rooms that showcase local and exotic flora.
The garden offers interpretive signage, seasonal events, and quiet lookouts that make it ideal for relaxation, photography and learning about regional botany. It’s a less-crowded complement to St. John’s coastal attractions and a treat for visitors who enjoy horticulture and gentle walks.
