Cultivate Wonder

Give to the Garden’s Education Fund

We need your help! Connecting people of all ages to the joy and wonder of the plant world is a key tenet of the Garden’s mission, and we simply cannot continue this vital educational work without your support. It’s not too late to make a difference. Please contribute whatever you can and help us meet our goal of raising $125,000 by June 30.

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.
