Preserving a Priceless Resource for all!

Thanks to the continuing support of our members and donors, the UC Botanical Garden remains strong, resilient and inspirational, serving as a living museum of global genetic diversity. More than just a beautiful display, it embodies the principle that every plant has a story and incredible value for all living creatures. The Garden is essential for scientists and students across many disciplines who rely on its collections for critical research, calling it an invaluable foundation for their work. As a steward of biodiversity and caretaker of a priceless plant collection, the Garden is an irreplaceable living classroom for students, educators, and nature-lovers! With diminishing funding for conservation and research, the Garden needs your support now more than ever! Your tax-deductible donation supports our vital work: From protecting over 10,000 kinds of plants to seed banking rare and endangered species to connecting children to the wonder of plant life, your gift today will preserve this extraordinary legacy. Give a gift by December 31, 2025, and your donation will be doubled up to $50,000.
