With your support, we can continue to:
- Offer moments of tranquility and connection to more than 1.2 million visitors annually and expand service to those in need, more than 50,000 Museums for All attendees last year, a 44% increase from the previous year.
- Steward and expand our living collection of more than 10,000 different kinds of plants including many threatened in their native habitats
- Provide hands-on education programs for over 125,000 children and lifelong learners each year
- Enhance interpretation, improve signage, and expand multilingual programming to share the wonder of plants in visitors’ native languages
Your gift matters. Your continued support today will ensure that the Gardens thrive—protecting rare and endangered plants, inspiring lifelong learning, and nurturing a sense of belonging.
Thank you for helping us connect more people to plants, the planet, and each other.
Your philanthropy in action
“I appreciate that the Garden field trip program can be facilitated in Spanish because it allows my students to relax and learn new concepts in their home language. It is an opportunity that we don’t always get.”
Alex Cooper
Second grade educator, Longfellow Elementary School
“I treasure the Gardens as important public spaces in our city. Flower Piano is the best of San Francisco—a celebration of our diverse, vibrant, quirky, and welcoming community. Every year I feel renewed love for my city and the people in it.”
Rik Panganiban
