Give a gift membership

Membership of the Friends is a perfect gift for garden-lovers, and anyone who loves our beautiful Botanic Gardens.

Do you enjoy our Botanic Gardens? 

Our Gardens include the Royal Botanic Gardens, Mount Annan Botanic Garden, our native garden in south-west Sydney, and Mount Tomah Botanic Garden in the Blue Mountains. Maybe you value the three Gardens as rich sources of knowledge about the world’s plants. Perhaps you just enjoy the green open spaces, and want to preserve them. By joining the Friends you become part of the valued support group that helps protect some of the world’s great botanic gardens.

Be rewarded

All Friends are rewarded for their support by receiving many valuable member benefits, privileges and discounts. And there’s even more to enjoy as a member. You can become a Friends' volunteer, and get the inside view.

Special projects

The Friends raises funds for an amazing range of projects that improve the Gardens and enable important scientific research. Projects include research into the Wollemi Pine, creating the Rare and Threatened Plants gardens, and upgrading historic buildings in the Royal Botanic Gardens.
