Memorial University Botanical Garden is the province's only botanical garden, consisting of 44 hectares of cultivated gardens & nature trails, surrounding beautiful Oxen Pond. The trails and flower gardens are open seasonally, May - November. The Garden was established in 1971 as a center for botanical, horticultural and environmental research and education, and has been developed to display plants native to the province plus cultivated plants suitable to the local climate, and to provide access to native habitats through a system of hiking trails. Recognized for advancing and enriching sustainable relationships among people, plants, and the environment, the Garden seeks to foster an appreciation of Newfoundland's natural history in the development and future of the university and the province. The Botanical Garden is located at 306 Mount Scio Road, just minutes from downtown St. John's and north of the main Memorial University campus. It is located within Pippy Park.
