At Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, "an interpretive garden was planted in 1974 to the north of the fort reconstruction. Although its location and size are not historic, it is in the general location of the historic garden and planted with historically-appropriate species. The garden helps to convey the general agricultural character of the site during the HBC era. The traditional English-style garden has geometric plant beds arranged symmetrically along a central walkway. Most of the flowers and vegetables would have been available to the HBC, reserved for the upper classes within the company. It is currently maintained by local volunteers."
