Ways to Give

Your investment will sustain our admission-free botanical garden, helping to connect people to plants, fostering sustainable communities, and developing reciprocal relationships with nature through lifelong learning.  

There are many ways to support the Garden — choose the ones that work best for you. 


Hearts and Flowers campaign 2026

Pat Main
What the Garden Gives Pat Main

When Pat Main and her family first arrived in Toronto from Scotland, the first place she felt like she belonged was a garden across the street. Years later, she has pledged $40,000 to help keep it thriving for everyone.

Every day, the Garden gives.

A quiet walk, a child’s first look at a monarch, a summer concert, a favourite bench. 

It is free to enter and open to everyone, and because we raise more than 95% of our funding ourselves, gifts from people who love this place are what keep it that way. Your gift to Hearts & Flowers, our annual giving campaign, supports the whole Garden, wherever it is needed most.



Give to the Garden you Love

Your gift supports free children’s programs that foster a lifelong love of nature, like “Living Winter” for Grade 4 students living in Toronto’s priority neighbourhoods. It helps our gardens bloom, and makes it possible for TBG to host free community events so that we can celebrate nature together

Become a Monthly Donor

Support TBG all year round. With your monthly donation, TBG can sustainably care for our plant collections and offer more nature-based programs.

Make a Lasting Impact
