Annual Report
We are grateful for the philanthropic support of our donors and members whose contributions have helped sustain the Garden for over 130 years! Thank you!
The Garden’s operating budget in FY 2024/2025 was aproximately $5 million. The Garden spends 50% of its income on Collection care and garden experience and 10% on education and outreach, totaling 60%. This is on par with other gardens, zoos, and aquariums. Other expenses include membership services, marketing, development, administration, management, and general. All expenses directly support the Garden’s mission.
As an integral part of the University, we are grateful for the campus support we received which this year totaled around 27% of our income. The rest of our budget, equaling 73% of our total income, came from generous contributions from our supporters along with admission fees, classes, venue rentals for special events and gift shop and plant sales.
We simply could not sustain the Garden without your support!
We need your help to meet our mission of research, conservation, and education and to take care of the Garden’s priceless collections.
