Membership

Members have first access to the Garden during a Member Appreciation Week beginning July 31. We can’t wait to welcome you back.

If you purchased or renewed a membership while the Garden was closed, your membership has been extended by two months, and your membership packet will arrive in the mail by the end of August.

*Please note: Member guest passes will not be accepted at the entry gate for the remainder of 2020; all visitors must have a ticket. All guest passes issued from July onward will be valid for 18 months.
