Botanical Garden Connection and Access Fund

The Garden's mission is rooted in connecting people to the wonder, discovery, and importance of plants. For that aspiration to be truly meaningful, we need to remove more barriers and open our doors wider to the broader community. Help us reach our goal of $130,000! Thanks to a group of generous Garden supporters, we have a match of $50,000. This is an incredible opportunity to double your impact and help us open the doors to learning and engagement wider! This spring your support will help us to build new entry points for learning and engagement in two distinct ways: 1. We will create curated video tours of some of our spectacular plant collections that will be viewable on both personal devices and available via tablets for visitors whose mobility might limit their physical access to our glasshouse collections. 2. We will expand our linguistic reach by translating our primary educational panels and our visitor guide into Latin American Spanish and Traditional Chinese. In a region where over 1.5 million people speak Spanish or Chinese, this effort ensures that the Garden is a welcoming and intentional space for the families who call the Bay Area home.
