Help ensure the Garden continues to inspire, educate and delight for years to come

The Bellevue Botanical Garden has no visitor fee, and is open every day of the year. Please consider supporting the Garden by making a donation. We welcome donations of any size.

Each year, we welcome 400,000 visitors to the Garden. They come to enjoy the beauty, learn new skills, and connect with friends and family. You can visit as often as you’d like, bring as many guests as you wish, and enjoy a wonderful living museum with a wide variety of gardens to explore.

The Bellevue Botanical Garden Society works in partnership with the City of Bellevue to achieve the Garden’s mission. Our role is to raise funds, support the Garden’s physical growth and development, and provide a broad range of programs and events designed to engage, inspire and inform Garden visitors.

We rely on donations, memberships, special events and sponsorships to support the free and low-cost educational programs for children and adults that enrich our community. Your donations provide critical funds to ensure that these programs can continue.

The Bellevue Botanical Garden Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and donations are tax-deductible. Our Tax ID# is 91-1333659

Planned Giving

Make a lasting contribution toward ensuring the Bellevue Botanical Garden and the Bellevue Botanical Garden Society are here for future generations. The Society brings life to the Garden through education, events, and Garden development. Learn more about Planned Giving options.

There are many types of planned gifts, including outright gifts, bequests by will, charitable trusts, life income agreements, gift annuities, and life insurance. As a donor, it can be confusing to determine which vehicle (if any) is most beneficial to your circumstances. While the Bellevue Botanical Garden Society is ever-grateful for planned gifts, it is important for us to know that you have consulted an attorney or financial advisor. Please note that the Bellevue Botanical Garden Society is not engaged in giving legal or financial advice.
