The Jade Garden - New and Notable Plants from Asia
“The Jade Garden - New and Notable Plants from Asia” is a landmark publication by three of UBC Botanical Garden and Centre for Plant Research's curators: Peter Wharton, Brent Hine and Douglas Justice.
Published in June 2005 by Timber Press, “The Jade Garden” illustrates one hundred and fifty of the most fascinating, yet little-known, ornamental trees, shrubs, and perennials from the “green mantle” of Asia.
Read excerpts from the book in a special five-part series of photographs featured on Botany Photo of the Day: Alangium platanifolium, Paeonia rockii, Cornus macrophylla, Larix griffithii, and Phlomis cashmeriana.

UBC Botanical Garden doesn't have an online store, but the book can be purchased online from Amazon.com
