FORSYTHIA SOCIETY
BBG salutes those who have made an especially meaningful contribution to the future of the Garden by including the Garden in their estate plans. Named after the official flower of Brooklyn, the forsythia carries the symbolic message of brotherhood, unity, and understanding; it thus provides an appropriate symbol for the impact that planned gifts can have.
