Mission: San Francisco Botanical Garden connects people to plants, the planet, and each other. San Francisco's unique Botanical Garden inspires visitors with the extraordinary diversity of rare and unusual plants that can be grown in coastal California. Through its programs and displays, the Garden cultivates the bond between people and plants and instills a deeper understanding of the necessity to conserve Earth's biological diversity. As a public/private partnership between a community-based nonprofit organization and the San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department, and a beloved San Francisco institution, we are committed to transparency, cultural diversity, inclusion, and environmentally responsible practices. We are proud to be a public public garden, accessible to all and grateful to the funders who help sustain us.

San Francisco Botanical Garden Society is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1959, and donations are tax-deductible.
