Envision a place of natural beauty that enriches our Sacramento community with diverse educational opportunities for all ages, seasonal and cultural celebrations, art exhibits, concerts, venues for corporate and family events, a garden-to-fork restaurant and an ever-changing showcase of native and exotics plants and flowers. We are working to make that exciting vision a reality in Sacramento. Will you lend a hand?
In 2023, the Sacramento Botanical Garden welcomed to its Board of Directors a group of experienced civic leaders including: Ray Tretheway (Sacramento Tree Foundation Executive and Former City Council Member), William Ishmael (Artist and former Nolte Engineering Executive), Julia Burrows (Special Policy Advisor to mayors Kevin Johnson and Darrel Steinberg), Christi Black-Davis (Executive at Edelman and former board chair of Sac Tree Foundation, American River Parkway Foundation, and the Sac Metro Chamber) and Jeff Townsend (Landscape Architect and former Executive with Jacobs Engineering). This new board is energized and focussed on securing an ideal location for the garden.
We are an entirely volunteer effort. All donations to our effort are used for our small administrative costs (web server, etc.) and the development of outreach materials and conceptual drawings.

Funding to keep our momentum going.
We're are an all-volunteer organization. Donations fund our minimal operational expenses. Last year, we were able to hire EPS to conduct an Economic Impact Analysis of the future garden. (Spoiler alert: it will generate an additional $15 million annually for the Sacramento region.)
Up next will be an in-depth site assessment, environmental studies, conceptual design, and a funding-readiness study. We anticipate these will collectively cost well over $100,000.
Just as we celebrate the botanical diversity of the world, the Sacramento Botanical Garden recognizes the rich diversity of our region. We welcome all, regardless of race, age, disability, socio-economic status, religion, gender or sexual orientation.
