Why doesn the SF Botanical Garden Society just do more?
In addition to raising millions of dollars over the years to assist in paying for staff, programs, maintenance and improvements, the SFBGS has taken on the responsibility of raising $13.1 million to rebuild The Nursery: Center for Sustainable Gardening which will replace the Botanical Garden’s approximately 45 year-old antiquated and outdated temporary greenhouse building. The SFBGS already provides the curatorial staff, the salary for one union gardener and maintains the most prominent horticultural research library in North America.
