Donations and Planned Giving
Leave your legacy!

Garden donors play a critical role in supporting our mission to connect people and plants. Your dollars provide much needed unrestricted revenue to sustain community programs for scientific research, plant conservation, and education.

The Garden has taken the lead in finding positive ways to get children back in touch with the natural world, establish eco-sustaining practices, and share the learning that comes from gardening and growing food. Your gift makes this vision a reality!
