Individual giving

Donate a bench

Benches have become an important part of the fabric of our Gardens. Each bench tells an individual story. Some benches celebrate joyous events such as a birth or a wedding; some mark a special time that people shared in the Gardens and some remember loved ones who had a passion for the Gardens and for the environment.

Donating a bench is wonderful way to demonstrate your special connection to the Gardens and at the same time, funds raised by this program help support important initiatives.

Adopt a tree

Major tree planting programs are now underway to ensure that the Royal Botanic Gardens will be enjoyed by future generations of visitors and admirers.

You can adopt a tree at the Royal Botanic Gardens or Domain.  Each young tree will grow to become the grand old trees of the future.

Support research

Your support can make an immense difference in helping us to protect the environment. Plants are the basis of all life. They provide us with food, timber, fossil fuels and maintain the quality of our atmosphere and soil. Research is vital if we are to understand plants more fully, to use them, enjoy them and conserve them in our rapidly changing world. As Australia’s oldest scientific institution, we have a highly respected team of botanists, ecologists and horticultural researchers, all devoted to studying plants. Their knowledge provides the scientific knowledge for setting conservation policies to preserve the world’s biodiversity.

Restore a book

Established in 1852, the Botanic Gardens Trust Library is one of the premier botanical and horticultural libraries in Australia. The library holds about 55,000 volumes of monographs and serials in the fields of plant systematics, plant ecology and horticulture. Small collections of books are located at Mount Annan and Mount Tomah Botanic Gardens.

The Library has a considerable collection of rare and valuable books housed in a special annexe. There are many outstanding early colonial and pre-colonial volumes. This collection includes the first 26 books bought for the library in 1852.

After 150 years, this extraordinary collection, including the Library’s many leather-bound volumes of colonial-era serials, is suffering wear and tear and badly needs restoration.

Your support is needed to help us maintain this vital collection of Australia’s botanical heritage.
