VanDusen Garden Plant Accession List

User Guide ► Review for tips and recommendations on how to get the best use of the VanDusen Garden Plant Accession List search tool and filter option.

1. With over 7,500 plants in the Garden and on the Plant Accession List, the list view is limited to 500 plants per page (43 pages). Use the search tool to add information to your search and increase search results. Use the Filter Search Results to narrow your search. You will find it under the search results.
2. Click on column headers to sort columns in alphabetical order or reverse, by bed number (lowest to highest or highest to lowest). Sort any column by clicking the header above each column. Indicators will appear after a column is sorted to indicate the sort direction. To reverse, click on '▼'. (A to Z: '▲' and Z to A:' ▼'. The first column defaults to A to Z.)
3. Click on a row to highlight yellow.
4. Click on the green Find on Map in the last column to display and scroll down to the bed number on the map. The bed will blink in highlighted green. You can move the map right, left, up, down to view the entire map on a mobile device.
5. Search: If you know what you're looking for, specifically by botanical name or common name, you can type it into the search fields Search By Botanical Name or Search By Common Name. You can search by Family, Nativity, Habit*, Bed Number, the Year Planted or Accension Number.
6. Tips:
