Supporting a botanical garden is about more than just maintaining the present—it’s about ensuring that years of research and rare species are protected for the next generation. ​
As always, admission is by suggested donation. However, as a non-profit, the garden and staff are reliant upon donations. If able, please consider $30 per person to support our educational riding tours or $15 per person for self-guided walking tours.
Thank you for your generosity! We can't wait to see you in the garden this summer.

Legacy Giving Opportunities
A Living Classroom
We believe that community involvement is essential in the world of gardening. This work is made possible through generous donations, which help support our efforts.
Agriculture
We aim to demonstrate that small-scale, sustainable agriculture is within reach for many. From a child’s first seed to a bountiful harvest, we believe that knowing where our food comes from is the foundation of true food literacy.
Guided Tours
We provide free educational riding tours for everyone, including individuals with disabilities who may find it challenging to walk the trails. Everyone deserves the chance to experience the magic of plant diversity.
Sanctuary
We strive to create a welcoming environment in the garden where everyone feels safe and included. Our goal is for each visitor to experience a sense of tranquility and belonging, allowing them to connect with nature and one another.
Volunteering
We have designed, installed, and maintained beautiful outdoor spaces at Watauga High School, Hardin Park Elementary School, and community churches. Since 1987, we continue to provide landscaping services for the churches.
