of No. 6 Road &

is a suggested route
if you are travelling

Brighouse Station
Bay 1 in Richmond.
Board the C96 East
Cambie bus and disembark
at the No. 6 Rd.

http://www.translink.ca

current transit
schedules & other

The 'Trip Planner'
feature in the Translink
website does not
recognize destinations
that involve walking
farther than 1/2
km from the nearest
public transit stop.
We therefore suggest
that you type in
the Armenian Church
address of '13780
Westminster Hwy., Richmond'
as your destination
if you would like
to try using Translink's
'Trip Planner' online
tool. You can also
access the 'Google
Street View' of
this section of
Westminster Hwy.
to familiarize yourself
with the walk before
setting out. |

Visitor Information
|
|
Visitors with children:
Visitors should
be aware that our
water gardening
areas can be a hazard
to very young children.
In order to ensure
that your visit
is a pleasant experience,
please supervise
your children closely
at all times. Thank
you.
Visitors with dogs:
If you have decided
to bring a dog with
you, please note
that we do not allow
dogs within our
premises. However,
you are welcome
to tie up your dog
in the shady area
adjacent to the
nursery entrance.
It is not our intention to offend dog owners, but we have
found it necessary
to implement this
policy due to the
damage caused by
dogs jumping into
our pond plant tanks.
A different set
of problems has
occurred when dogs
are brought into
our tropical greenhouse.
Due to the presence
of a large number
of plants, the average
dog will assume
that the greenhouse
is an outdoor environment.
When nature calls,
the dog will answer.
Also, a dog's tail
is remarkably efficient
at knocking over
potted plants.
