Description

In April 1934, the Shakespeare Society presented the Vancouver Park Board with a cheque for $1000 creating a Shakespeare Garden. The garden is a diverse arboretum that includes trees mentioned in his plays and poems. There are about 45 trees that form the arboretum that accompanies the monument. Trees designated from the works of Shakespeare have been affixed with plaques that display their appropriate quotes.

It has been included as one of VHF’s Places That Matter sites. Please visit the website link for history, images and submit your story!
