The Royal Botanical Gardens (RBG) is headquartered in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. It is one of the major tourist attractions between Niagara Falls and Toronto, as well as a significant local and regional horticultural, education, conservation, and scientific resource.

The 980 hectares (2,422 acres) of nature sanctuary owned by the Royal Botanical Gardens is considered the plant biodiversity hotspot for Canada, with a very high proportion of the wild plants of Canada in one area.
