Garden Leaders: Get Involved at a Deeper Level
When you make an annual tax-deductible gift of $1,000 or more, you become part of a community of dedicated individuals whose support sustains all of the Garden’s programs. You become a Garden Leader.
Your contribution might help fund a Green Corps student who learns powerful lessons about nature, discipline and work habits while planting and maintaining neighborhood gardens throughout the city. It could provide underwriting for a class of fourth graders to experience the living laboratory of the Eleanor Armstrong Smith Glasshouse and the outdoor gardens, sharpening their science skills in the process. Or it might fund research on the Garden’s highest curatorial priorities. In any case your gift will be put to immediate use where it is most needed.
Your generosity will be rewarded with opportunities to get to know the Garden through the people who make it such a vital and beautiful place.
