The Garry Oak Learning Meadow is an educational garden within Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Sites, managed by Parks Canada on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. It showcases one of Canada's rarest ecosystems — a native Garry Oak meadow filled with blooming wildflowers and abundant pollinators. The surrounding historic site also features a 19th-century coastal artillery fortress and Fisgard Lighthouse, the oldest permanent lighthouse on Canada's Pacific coast.
