Opening October 2019

We're starting here. Will you help us get here?

Sponsorship Opportunities:
From buildings to gardens to trees, you can sponsor individual features that will be included in Phase I of the Gardens.

Phase 1 Sponsorships

We have raised over $9.5 million in support of the future Waterfront Botanical Gardens.

The Graeser Family Education Center will be the first building of Louisville’s future gardens. At the heart of our educational programming, its flexible space will be the perfect home for field trips by schoolchildren, conference speakers, flower shows, and other special events.

We’ve come a long way, but our work is not yet complete.

Will you help us continue the momentum? By making a donation today, your support will play a direct role in making our community’s dream a reality. Building this first piece of the gardens will be possible only through the generous support of people like you.

If your brick is a gift, let us know and we can include a gift acknowledgement with your thank you letter that you can send to the recipient.

PLANNED GIVING

Have you considered including the gardens in your estate plans? While there are several approaches, one of the simplest is to make a bequest by including a gift to the Waterfront Botanical Gardens in your will. If you have questions about planned giving, please contact us.

MEMORIAL GIFTS
