Be a Friend ...

... and contribute to the mission of the UCR Botanic Gardens. Formally established in 1980, the mission of the Friends is to provide support for the development and maintenance of the Gardens. Through funds accrued from annual membership dues the Gardens have been enhanced, unique collections have been expanded, and enriching experiences are provided for students of ages 3rd grade and older. The UCR Botanic Gardens today would not be possible without the enthusiasm and support of the Friends. Become a Friend and help make a difference!
