Student Scholarships

Our Education Department serves over 40,000 students annually. Your scholarship donations help broaden our reach and serve those teachers who request programming but cannot afford it due to lack of funding. Scholarships start at $100.

Garden Benches

A select number of benches are available for honorariums and memorials. Benches include labels with an inscription noting both the donor and honoree. Bench placement is based on donor preference but location is not guaranteed. Benches range from $3,500-10,000.

Garden Plantings

There are a number of display beds and seasonal plantings throughout the Garden that can be sponsored each year. A select group of trees and shrubs are also available for honorariums and memorials. Garden plantings start at $500.
