Why Support the Garden?
By creating spaces to engage visitors with nature, the Garden is removing barriers between people and the environment. Transforming 460 acres of former mining land into a beautiful community asset, the Garden breathes new life into land once condemned. The Garden also maintains a commitment to enhancing year-round learning opportunities for regional schools by providing educational opportunities and scholarships for underserved youth programs.
Annual Fund Donations
Contributions to the Garden’s Annual Fund provide unrestricted funding for all Garden operations and programs. From beautiful horticultural displays to nature-based education classes, your tax-deductible gift supports the Garden’s mission of connecting people to plants.
Pittsburgh Botanic Garden’s 65-acre property is a valuable community asset with abundant opportunities to engage with plants and animals of the Allegheny Plateau ecoregion. Your donation allows the Garden to continue in pursuit of our mission:
Pittsburgh Botanic Garden inspires people to value plants, garden design and the natural world by cultivating plant collections of the Allegheny Plateau and temperate regions, creating display gardens, conducting educational programs and conserving the environment.
