The highly-anticipated public rooftop garden is opening at the Vancouver Public Library later this month.

It’s been under construction at the Central Library location in downtown Vancouver for over a year but it’s well worth the wait.

Opening Saturday, September 29th—check out the new garden space along with the library’s expanded top floors.

The rooftop garden and expansion is part of a $15.5 million project. Now, there’s about 40,000-square-foot of extra space, including the 8,000-square-foot garden where visitors can read while getting some fresh air.

Other changes include the addition of an 80-seat auditorium, a spacious reading room and many art exhibition spaces.
