"Nitobe Memorial Garden, on the University of British Columbia’s sprawling west side campus, is a small but lovely 2.5-acre traditional Japanese garden with a tea house. If you’re visiting during high season, you can attend a tea ceremony, which takes place on the last Saturday of every month from May to September. The goal of the ceremony, called chado (or “the way of tea”), is partly to provide you with a spectacular bowl of matcha tea. Then, stroll through manicured lawns and across wooden footbridges." - Guy Saddy
