Garden Giving

Your support advances our mission and engagement, enabling the gardens to expand as an outdoor classroom, an experiential laboratory, and a research center.

We also invite you to explore our membership and volunteer opportunities.

 

There are many opportunities to give in support of the gardens. You can give a gift specifically designed to honor the birth of a child, a marriage, an anniversary or the passing of a loved one. You may also give a gift to support garden projects or programs. 

Give a Gift in Support

  • Give an unrestricted gift to support garden projects, maintenance, and programs.

UD Botanic Gardens Endowment

  • Contribute to our endowment to ensure the long-term viability, growth and service as a living museum and teaching landscape to UD students, faculty, researchers and the public.

Student Programs

  •  Students and interns help maintain and develop the gardens, gaining practical experience and training that complements classroom learning.

Gift in Memory or Honor

  • Give a gift to honor someone or to celebrate a major life event.

 

Become a Patron of the Annual Benefit Spring Plant Sale – Individuals who give $200 and above to any of the funds listed above will have the first opportunity to shop our sale selection and are invited to attend a special opening reception at the Spring Plant Sale.

 

All of the above gifts qualify as charitable contributions, separate from membership, and are deductible as prescribed by federal and state tax laws. For more information or for additional giving opportunities, please contact:
