创建背景与大学隶属

加拿大阿尔伯塔大学植物园创建于1959年,位于埃德蒙顿西南方向的帕克兰县,是阿尔伯塔大学面向教学、研究与公众开放的植物园。园方以“通过植物连接人与大地”为使命,把北方气候植物展示、文化景观与自然体验结合在同一园区。

园区规模与植物收藏

植物园总面积约97公顷(240英亩),其中约80英亩为集中游览与栽培区域,并保留林地、湿地和草甸等自然空间。官方资料列出约4,000种植物、3,000余株开花一年生植物及三座室内展览温室,重点呈现能够适应加拿大北方严寒气候的植物。

文化花园与特色景观

核心景观包括4.8公顷的阿迦汗花园、五英亩的栗本日本庭园、加拿大植物园中较早设立的原住民植物园,以及Patrick Seymour高山植物园。阿迦汗花园种植超过25,000株乔木、灌木、多年生植物、一年生植物和湿地植物;室内温室则分别展示热带、温带与干旱地区植物。

教育项目与文化连接

植物园为儿童和成人提供体验式学习,儿童项目与阿尔伯塔省课程标准衔接,服务从幼儿园到十二年级的团体。成人活动涵盖导览、自然观察、艺术课程和森林疗愈,Pathways系列还通过艺术、音乐、饮食与工作坊促进不同文化之间的理解。

公众参与与长期支持

园区四季开放,但冬季和早春可能调整开放时间;访客可通过预约入园、会员计划、志愿服务和活动参与支持植物园。1971年成立的Friends of the University of Alberta Botanic Garden持续为植物收藏、设施与教育项目筹资,使大学资源、社区参与和公共园艺体验形成长期协作。


Founding and University Role

Established in 1959, the University of Alberta Botanic Garden is located in Parkland County southwest of Edmonton. As part of the University of Alberta, it combines public engagement with education, research, northern-climate horticulture and cultural landscapes under a mission of connecting people with the earth through plants.

Scale and Living Collections

The Garden covers about 97 hectares, or 240 acres, including roughly 80 acres of cultivated visitor areas as well as woods, wetlands and meadows. Official figures identify about 4,000 plant species, more than 3,000 flowering annuals and three indoor showhouses, with an emphasis on plants capable of thriving in a demanding northern climate.

Cultural Gardens and Major Landscapes

Major attractions include the 4.8-hectare Aga Khan Garden, the five-acre Kurimoto Japanese Garden, the Indigenous Peoples Garden and the Patrick Seymour Alpine Garden. The Aga Khan Garden contains more than 25,000 trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals and wetland plants, while the tropical, temperate and arid showhouses broaden the climatic range on display.

Learning and Cultural Programs

Programs serve both children and adults. Curriculum-linked Kids in the Garden experiences support groups from kindergarten through Grade 12, while adult offerings include guided walks, nature observation, arts and wellness activities. The Pathways series uses performance, food, workshops and conversation to build understanding across cultures in a garden setting.

Public Access and Community Support

The Garden operates in every season, with reduced hours or closures possible during winter and early spring. Admission, memberships, events and volunteer opportunities provide several routes for public participation. The Friends organization, founded in 1971, supports collections, facilities and educational programs through fundraising and community engagement.
