WISH LIST

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about our members, it’s that they are as loyal and passionate about Boyce Thompson Arboretum as are the volunteers, Board of Directors and staff. That passion and loyalty is why many want to help out in real and meaningful ways. To that end, we’re bringing back the BTA Wish List.

Each quarter in the BTA Member Magazine, we’ll post a list of the tools, supplies and other items we could use to better care for the gardens or improve the guest experience for visitors. If you have new or gently-used items you no longer need, or if you wish to contribute toward the purchase of something on the list, we welcome your donations or cash gifts of any size. Thank you!
