The Memorial University of Newfoundland Botanical Garden was initiated in 1971, under the supervision of Bernard Jackson. It was opened to the public in July 1977. Since that time it has been developed to display plants native to the province and cultivated plants suitable to the local climate and to provide access to a number of habitats through a system of trails. The Garden is a resource centre for basic and applied botanical research and education with a particular interest in the flora of Newfoundland and Labrador. It seeks to foster an appreciation of natural history in the development and future of the university and the province. The Garden became a not-for-profit corporation in 1994.
