£25 will provide an explorer backpack for our youngest visitors to borrow (complete with binoculars, bug box and activities)

£50 will help purchase a selection of new books for our children’s library

£100 will cover the cost of a drop-in family activity day

£200 will help us support a schools visit

If you would like to discuss how you might like to support the Garden, talk about different ways of making a donation or setting up regular donations via standing order or direct debit, please email the Development Office or call on 01223 336383 – we’d love to have a chat.

All donations to the Garden are recorded in the Book of Benefactions, which was commissioned in 2008 to become a lasting record of the ways in which the Botanic Garden has benefitted from generous donations from visitors and supporters. The Book can be viewed at 1 Brookside during Garden opening hours.

Thank you for your support – your help will ensure that the Garden remains a place of outstanding horticultural beauty and a centre of learning for all ages.
