Society of Fellows

The Society of Fellows is a committed group of garden enthusiasts who support our mission at a higher level.

Fellows are afforded all of the benefits of our general membership program plus much more, including invitations to attend exclusive garden-study tours, as well as other special events that showcase gardens and landscapes in distinctive regions in the United States and abroad. Participants learn from renowned horticulturists, designers, and historians, and enjoy gracious hosting in private homes and public institutions.
