Membership

There’s no admission fee at Plantations, so we rely on support from our members and other donors to fund all of our programs.  Memberships, charitable gifts and endowment income provide 80% of Plantations’ budget and strengthen every aspect of our mission. Your annual membership gift enables us to create beautiful gardens, preserve irreplaceable natural areas, and offer unique programs for people of all ages about the importance of plants in our lives.
