The Oregon Garden Foundation
Thank you for your generous gifts to the Oregon Garden Foundation
Your gifts help the Garden sustain and grow
Your gifts help us to inspire and educate visitors of all ages. Donating to the Garden is easy and tax-deductible. We thank you for all donations that ensure the future of The Oregon Garden.
The Oregon Garden was a longtime dream of a group of dedicated Oregon nursery owners. During the late 1990’s that dream became a reality. The Oregon Garden Foundation officially broke ground and began building Oregon’s botanical garden in 1997. The Oregon Garden opened to the public in 2001. As we approach twenty years of the Garden being a reality, we appreciate each and every donation that supports our current programs and new dreams to enhance and develop the Oregon Garden. The Oregon Garden Foundation Board includes seven Directors who support the Garden’s mission and enhance philanthropy while providing oversight to the Garden’s future.
