The RSBG is updating its member benefits to bring you more value and exclusive garden privileges! These new and improved benefits will take effect January 1, 2024.
After listening to the needs of our members and garden visitors, we have updated our member benefits to bring you more value and new perks! We hope that you will take advantage of the new opportunities to enjoy the garden, connect with staff and continue to cultivate your home garden with plants and supplies from the RSBG.
The RSBG has not updated its pricing for over a decade and is restructuring its membership program to be more in line with other botanical garden loyalty programs – and to provide additional value to its members.
To make the transition as smooth as possible for current members, we are offering a free trial of upgraded benefits beginning Jan. 1 through the remainder of your first membership year. If you would like to retain your new perks once your membership expires, simply renew!
If you are currently a Supporting Member or above, many new updated benefits will become available to you beginning Jan. 1, at no additional charge. We are offering these benefits as a free trial through the first year of membership. If you choose to retain your new perks, simply renew when it’s time to do so.
For those with an Individual Membership, the RSBG will honor the 10% discount on gift shop and onsite nursery purchases through the first year of membership. If you would like to keep this discount, we ask that you select the Dual Membership level when you renew.
Here are just a few of the New Member privileges:
- New Dual Membership Level
- More free and discounted guest passes
- 10% discount on plant catalog purchases
- Free registration to digital lectures
- Invitations to exclusive members-only events
