Cultivate Wonder

Building Community Bridges

Help us reach our $130,000 goal by June 30!

We are creating new points of connection to our unique plant collections. Your support will ensure more members of our community can experience the Garden in two vital ways:

  1. Curated video tours that bring our indoor collections to life for visitors when the terrain is a barrier
  2. Professional translations of our educational panels and visitor guide for Spanish and Chinese speaking neighbors

Upcoming Events and Classes

Find your inner botanist or meet fellow plant-lovers. Take a class or attend a virtual lecture. What can you learn or do today? Check out our events calendar.

Support Our Mission

Join us in protecting the future of plants. At the heart of our mission—conservation, research and education—is the Garden’s diverse and priceless plant collection. It plays a vital role as a living laboratory and as a refuge for over 10,000 kinds of plants, including many rare and endangered species. Your gift today will have an immediate impact! Together we can preserve this unique space for future generations of scientists, students and plant enthusiasts.
