Ganna Walska Lotusland, with its rare and exotic specimens and unique themed gardens, is an unrivaled botanic treasure and a favorite destination for visitors from both the community and around the world. Open to the public since 1993, Lotusland serves a broad range of audiences including local school children.

Today, a significant endowment is required to meet the rising expense of maintaining Madame Walska’s rare plant collections and to continue valuable community programs promoting sustainable gardening, conservation, and horticultural research.

Members of $1,000+ are a part of the Garden Lover Circles Program. This distinct group of philanthropic members have access to a dedicated staff liaison to support reservations and access to the Garden, including docent-led tours by request, and invitations to exclusive Garden tours and events.
