Consider a Legacy with the Garden
You can be a part of our story.
Rooted in over 150 years of history, the Missouri Botanical Garden has the strongest of foundations. Over these years, special donors have followed the example of our founder Henry Shaw and created gifts to secure our future.
These gifts allow the Garden to grow and flourish, to discover plants and share knowledge with our community, our guests, and our partners across the planet.
You can help write our next chapter.
