2021 Reciprocal Admissions Program AMERICAN HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 2021 RECIPROCAL ADMISSIONS PROGRAM Participating Gardens, Arboreta, and Conservatories For details on benefits and 90-mile radius enforcement, see https://ahsgardening.org/gardening-programs/rap Program Guidelines: A current membership card from the American Horticultural Society (AHS) or a participating RAP garden entitles the visitor to special admissions privileges and/or discounts at many different types of gardens. The AHS provides the following guidelines to its members and the members of participating gardens for enjoying their RAP benefits: This printable document is a listing of all sites that participate in the American Horticultural Society’s Reciprocal Admissions Program. This listing does not include information about the benefit(s) that each site offers. For details on benefits and enforcement of the 90- mile radius exclusion, see https://ahsgardening.org/gardening-programs/rap Call the garden you would like to visit ahead of time. Some gardens have exclusions for special events, for visitors who live within 90 miles of the garden, etc. Each garden has its own unique admissions policy, RAP benefits, and hours of operations. Calling ahead ensures that you get the most up to date information. Present your current membership card to receive the RAP benefit(s) for that garden. Each card will only admit the individual(s) whose name is listed on the card. In the case of a family, couple, or household membership card that does not list names, the garden must extend the benefit(s) to at least two of the members. Beyond this, gardens will refer to their own policies regarding household/family memberships. Some gardens may require a photo ID. The 90-mile Exclusion policy allows a garden to exclude members of gardens within 90 miles of it from receiving the RAP benefit(s). For AHS members, the exclusion is based on their home address. Please contact the garden you belong to or the garden you plan to visit to inquire about their enforcement of this policy. Remember that the gardens you visit rely on admission and donations to maintain their collections and gardens for all to enjoy. Please support them by visiting their gift shops or making a contribution.

  • Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens Receives Grants to Start
    Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens e-Newsletter February 2021 EDITION Hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens Receives Grants to Start Master Plan Process Jacksonville, Fla. (Feb. 10, 2021) – Later this month, the Arboretum will begin the exciting process of developing a master plan to design and install botanical gardens on the property. The master plan process was made possible by generous grants of $30,000 from the Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Fund and $10,000 from the River Branch Foundation. The planning process will take about eight months to complete. The addition of botanical gardens is the latest in a continuous plan to propel the Arboretum into a best-in-class destination in the southeast. Executive Director Dana Doody noted that each project is being planned carefully to add as much value as possible while managing the non-profit’s budget plan in unprecedented times. In addition to the grant for the master plan design, the Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Fund also awarded the Arboretum a $70,000 challenge grant for the first phase of the implementation. The 1:1 challenge grant will launch a community campaign following the completion of the design plan. “The Arboretum is an important community asset which brings thousands of people to its special trails, many of which are ADA accessible,” said Delores Barr Weaver. “The plan will provide a vision for a botanical destination, sure to benefit our citizens for years to come.” The process will take into account the Arboretum’s unique qualities, Florida’s seasons and Jacksonville’s ecosystems and native horticulture.

  • Conserving Oaks in North American Plant Collections: a Collaborative Approach
    Conserving Oaks in North American Plant Collections: A Collaborative Approach Emily Griswold Assistant Director of Horticulture UC Davis Arboretum, University of California, Davis, CA 95616 As much as any ardent collector would love to comprehensively represent the variety of the genus Quercus in her garden, the great taxonomic diversity, range of natural habitats, and large mature size of oaks make that virtually impossible. With that in mind, a new cooperative group of American public gardens has recently formed with the goal of representing the oak diversity of North America in its collections. The 15 member gardens were recently recognized as the first multi-institutional collection of the North American Plant Collections Consortium (NAPCC). The members of the multi-institutional Quercus collection include: Chicago Botanic Garden – Glencoe, Illinois - 48 taxa Cornell Plantations – Ithaca, New York - 77 taxa Denver Botanic Gardens – Denver, Colorado - 61 taxa Holden Arboretum – Kirtland, Ohio - 64 taxa Landis Arboretum – Esperance, New York - 14 taxa Missouri Botanical Garden – Saint Louis, Missouri - 40 taxa Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - 58 taxa The Morton Arboretum – Lisle, Illinois - 67 taxa Mount Auburn Cemetery – Cambridge, Massachusetts - 25 taxa New York Botanical Garden – Bronx, New York - 46 taxa Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden – Claremont, California - 27 taxa Scott Arboretum of Swarthmore College – Swarthmore, Pennsylvania - 52 taxa UC Davis Arboretum – Davis, California - 92 taxa University of California Botanical Garden – Berkeley, California - 71 taxa University of Washington Botanic Gardens – Seattle, Washington - 86 taxa A program of the American Public Gardens Association, the NAPCC is a coordinated network of public gardens dedicated to preserving and expanding the plant diversity represented in gardens for the purposes of conservation, research, education, and public enjoyment.
