Membership Scholarships

At the Bellevue Botanical Garden Society, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to connect with nature, learn, and grow—regardless of financial circumstances. To help make our programs more accessible, we offer membership scholarships for individuals and families experiencing financial barriers.

A membership through this program provides all basic membership benefits, which includes a 30% discount on our youth and children’s programs as well as adult education offerings. In addition, members will receive complimentary passes to Garden d’Lights.
