Fondé en 1931, ce jardin est l'œuvre du frère Marie-Victorin, botaniste de grand renom qui a amorcé et mené projet d'envergure, et de Henry Teuscher, architecte paysagiste qui en a conçu l'aménagement. La beauté, la variété et la richesse de ses collections témoignent de la vision de ses fondateurs, qui voulaient en faire un « jardin botanique idéal » par ses fonctions esthétiques, scientifiques, éducatives et sociales. Avec ses quelque 22 000 espèces et cultivars de plantes, ses grandes serres d'exposition, sa trentaine de jardins thématiques et son vaste arboretum, il est l'un des plus importants jardins botaniques au monde.
