Foundations

The Gardens of Golden Gate Park connect people to plants, the planet, and each other. Our vision is all people having access to beautiful public gardens and experiencing the intrinsic value of plants to life and culture for a healthy community and planet.  


Recognized as one of the Top Ten Gardens in America, the Gardens bring joy, peace, awe, wonder, and inspiration to more than 1.2 million people each year. We are a major highlight of trips to San Francisco and a source of civic pride and connection for the entire Bay Area. 

Your Support Makes Everything Possible

Foundation and institutional support of the Gardens makes everything possible. Because of our partners, more people are impacted by the collections and programs at these three gardens and Library every day—continuously connecting our community to plants, the planet, and each other.
