An invitation to become a Lotusland member…

Lotusland Foundation, established by Madame Ganna Walska, is dedicated to preserving her garden, to sharing it with visitors as she requested, and to increasing its value to the public by plant propagation, by the preservation of rare species and by presenting educational programs and classes.

All activities at Lotusland are offered to Lotusland members first. Members are given priority access to the garden, including self-guided tour days and times during the winter months (while the garden is closed to the public) when they can visit with their family and friends.
Support from Lotusland members is an important part of Lotusland's ability to continue its public programs for the community, including internships and tours for public schools. The financial support from Lotusland members helps to maintain, preserve and enhance this unique horticultural treasure for all to enjoy.
Become a Lotusland member and allow us to share Madame Walska's garden with you and your guests.
