Tour UBC’s spectacular gardens this summer

SUMMER IS a great time to visit the University of British Columbia.

The campus is in full, colorful bloom and the pace is a little slower. The views up Howe Sound are spectacular and the garden- like peacefulness is a comfortable distance from the hustle and bus- tle of downtown Vancouver.

You can choose from a variety of guided walking tours; scan the Stars through the observatory’s world-class telescope; wander through galleries and museums: swim in the Olympic-sized out- door pool; make your dining selection from the menus of sev- eral campus eating spots; and just generally have fun.

While you're there, youl] want to check out the 80-million- year-old Lambeosaurus dinasaur skeleton at the M.Y. Williams Geological Museum, or just enjoy the serene splendor of the Koerner Ceramics Gallery in the Museum of Anthropology (MOA).

Kids will enjoy a guided tour through the dairy barn located at the south end of Wesbrook Mall, where they'll get close-up looks at cows and calves. Afternoon tours include an opportunity to watch cows being milked.

UBC’s spectacular gardens ace always a treat. The rose garden, which overlooks the entrance to English Bay and the snow-capped mountains of the coastal range, exhibits more than 300 types of

roses throughout the summer.

Established in 1916, the UBC Botanical Garden is the oldest botanical garden in Canada. You're invited to stroll through the one-hectare hillside alpine garden, and to step back in time to the physick garden and view a 16th céntury herb garden. Tours are designed to introduce guests to these and other areas.

The university boasts a variety of unique shops on campus. At MOA, the Anthropology Shop of- fers some of the finest West Coast works of ast, as well as examples of ethnic art from around the world.

The Shop in the Garden sells a large selection of books, gifts, seeds and garden-related par-
