Ways to give
Adkins Arboretum relies on contributions to support
its forward thinking vision as a native plant garden and preserve.
The Arboretum is dedicated to teaching about the native flora
of the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain by displaying plants in their
natural habitats. Recognizing that the greatest threat to botanical
diversity is land development, and that the greatest development
pressures are on our coasts, the Arboretum is addressing an urgent
need.
Tax deductible donations may be made for a variety
of projects, detailed below. For more information
about ways to give to Adkins Arboretum, contact Ellie Altman,
Executive Director.

Center; create an ecologically sensitive entry and parking
area; and provide endowment funds that will help sustain the
expansion and support new programs. At its completion in 2008,
the Arboretum will be able to broaden its educational offerings
and research initiatives to accommodate a growing visitorship.

Center or make an online
