In the spring of 2002, a group of passionate gardeners from Gibsons, Roberts Creek, and Sechelt came together to form the Sunshine Coast Botanical Garden Society.

While working on today's goals, we have tomorrow's vision in sight:

• Create a botanical garden on the Sunshine Coast with an ecological vision.
• Encourage partnerships with other botanical, horticultural, educational and cultural organizations locally, nationally and internationally.
• Seek and develop a strong volunteer core and involve a diverse range of community members and organizations in the botanical garden.
• Collect, preserve, document and promote a diversity of plants, including native plants, suited for cultivation in coastal British Columbia.
• Promote education regarding the environment, ecology, organic methods, horticulture and ethnobotany.
• Acquire real property, solicit and raise funds, and apply for grants to carry out the purposes of the Society and to accept donations for such purposes.

SCBGS is a member of Botanic Gardens Conservation International.
