Give to the Gardens

From the most magnificent garden to the smallest blade of grass, the structures, plants and programs at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum require considerable care, upkeep and attention. Our highly trained staff works to design, create, and cultivate the flora and activities that attract more than a quarter of a million visitors each year. Much of the day-to-day operation of this beautiful and inspiring resource is made possible through our Annual Fund. Give today.

Double the impact of your gift with employer matching.
Every year many companies match gifts to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum made by their employees. Some companies may also match gifts from spouses and retirees. When you make a gift to the Arboretum, please call your personnel office to see if your company has a matching gifts program. Get a matching gift form from them and follow the directions for doubling — or even tripling — your gift.

Great news for a limited time!

Arboretum supporters Roger and Nancy McCabe have generously pledged $150,000 to create a special Challenge Fund, lasting two years, that will match your new Annual Fund gift, your reinstated Annual Fund gift or, if you contributed to the Annual Fund last year, the increased portion of your gift this year. Your gift - big or small - can truly make a difference in assuring the Arboretum remains a vibrant public showcase with its beautiful gardens, vital plant research, and innovative educational programs offered to an audience of all ages and abilities.

For more information on the Annual Fund or the Challenge Fund, please call Terri Gustavson at 952-443-1432 or email terri@umn.edu.

Gifts of $150 and above also include an enhanced donor-level Arboretum membership.
