Hello Amazing Supporters!
Wow! We are so fortunate for your generosity and support for the Botanical Garden. We have passed $2,000 and are excited to have the funding to get some new tools and plants. We celebrated an amazing year of hard work recently at our volunteer appreciation lunch and feel so much warmth from your donations!
We are still dreaming of a beautiful shed to create a dry, safe space for volunteers to store their tools and belongings while caring for the Garden. If you know of any friends or family that you think would be interested in this project, please share this with them. Thank you for your support!
With gratitude,
The UCLA Botanical Garden Team
