adopt a garden

Honor your favorite gardener, young nature lover or show the community your passion for the gardens by adopting a garden at the Botanical Center. We’ll do all the work to keep your garden beautiful. Adopting areas in the heart of our gardens will help ensure the liveliest displays and continued care throughout the year.
 
The honoree’s name will be displayed on garden signage during growing season.  Honorees will also receive recognition on this website page and a mention on Facebook. You will be notified when signs are placed. Choose your favorite garden space or email for questions.
