Our Story
Canopy-soar began in 1998 as a modest community initiative to preserve native woodland plants threatened by urban development. What started as a small collection of rescued specimens has grown into one of Canada's most respected networks of botanical gardens and nature education centres.
Our founders, a group of botanists, educators, and conservation advocates, shared a conviction that protecting plant biodiversity required more than preservation alone. They believed people needed meaningful connections with the natural world to become its stewards.
Today, that founding philosophy guides everything we do. From our research greenhouses where scientists study climate adaptation in native species, to our public gardens where families discover the quiet wonder of a blooming woodland floor, we remain committed to both rigorous science and accessible education.
