Fellows Membership

The Council of Fellows was established in 1985 to involve the friends of the Garden in its development as a national resource. Annual membership dues begin at the $1,500 level and continue up to the $20,000 Chairman’s Circle level. These dues provide the critical financial foundation for Garden operations.

Fellows also have the opportunity to participate in specially arranged international travel programs, which include visits to private and public gardens. Many Fellows become involved with the Garden’s special programs and projects. Fellows are invited to the Garden’s bi‐annual board meetings and are encouraged  to serve on board committees. Our Fellows have been instrumental in helping the National Tropical Botanical Garden become one of the most important tropical botanical gardens in the world.

Membership and benefits include both spouses.
