The Garden is a community resource that offers unique opportunities for everyone to connect with the wonders of nature. From annual events like Lunar New Year and SOAR – Tropical Butterflies to the vibrant plant displays and care we put into the Garden, every day is an adventure for our guests. None of this would be possible without the support of our community and Members. If you’re looking for a way to give back and help us continue creating nature-inspired experiences, here are seven ways to support the Garden.

7 Ways to Support the Garden

  1. Become a Member: Becoming a Member is a meaningful way to support the Garden while enjoying a variety of perks. Your membership helps sustain the Garden, and in return, you receive a year of free admission and discounts on exhibits, events, workshops and items at the Kiosk. Plus, membership extends beyond our Garden, giving you access to over 300 botanic gardens nationwide and a discount at select local nurseries. Whether for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, a membership is a great way to stay connected to nature and support the community. Click here to learn more about membership.
  2. Volunteer: As a volunteer, you’re not only supporting the Garden, you’re also playing a key role in sharing the beauty of nature with our community. Whether through hands-on gardening or engaging with visitors, volunteers help us create memorable experiences that inspire care for the environment. If you’re 15 or older and excited to get involved, we’d love to have you! Click here to learn more about volunteering at the Garden.
  3. Sign up for a Garden Workshop Experience: Another fun way to support the Garden is by joining one of our Garden Workshop Experiences. Bring some friends along and make it a mini celebration! The best part? All proceeds from the workshops go directly back into supporting the Garden. It’s a great way to learn something new, have a good time and give back to the place you love.

  4. Purchase an Item From the Kiosk: When you shop at our Kiosk, your purchase helps support the Garden, and our inventory is always changing! With the holidays around the corner, it’s a great spot to find unique stocking stuffers or gifts. Plus, we’ve got a variety of plants to choose from. Instead of shopping at a big chain store, you can find something special here and feel good knowing your purchase helps a local botanic garden.
  5. Share About Your Visit: Another great way to support the Garden is by following us on social media and sharing your visit with your friends! You might introduce the Garden to someone who hasn’t discovered it but would love it. You can find us on Facebook (@scbgarden), Instagram (@scbgarden) and TikTok (@scbgarden).
  6. Fill Out The Post Visit Surveys: Guest feedback helps drive change in the Garden. By filling out our post-visit surveys, you help us improve and create even better experiences for everyone. Your feedback truly makes a difference! 
  7. Donate to Our Flourish Fund: The most sizable way to support the Garden is with a donation. Donations help keep day-to-day operations running smoothly and create unique nature experiences for our visitors. Your contribution also allows us to bring in exciting exhibits that our community might not otherwise get to enjoy. Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference and helps us continue to grow and inspire with nature. Interested in making a donation to our Flourish Fund? Click here.
