McCrory Gardens Memberships
We invite you to become a McCrory Gardens member and support this spectacular horticultural resource. Since it was established as a public garden in 1965, we has long been considered one of the jewels of Brookings and the region. The addition of the McCrory Gardens Education and Visitor Center makes us a year-round destination.
Your contribution helps to maintain and enhance the planting, care and maintenance of the 41,000-plus flowers, trees and shrubs planted annually. It also supports the education of our students as well as the research and outreach programs of our staff.
Remember — a membership to McCrory Gardens makes a wonderful gift for a friend or family member.
