All about Membership

Why not become a member of the Friends and support the wonderful Ballarat Botanical Gardens! Anybody can become a member, regardless of age, ability or experience. You can be involved as much or as little as you like. Some Friends take an active role while others join to support the Gardens financially. 

Our active members enjoy the social connection of like-minded members while contributing to the Friends many projects. There are a number of Friends groups you can join and you will be welcomed warmly no matter what your skills. 

Other not-so-active members are just happy to make a financial contribution to a worthy cause and to be kept informed about activities taking place in the gardens.
