Supporter Level Memberships
Preserve Beauty and Share Discovery
Share the wonders of the natural world with your friends, employees, and clients as a Supporter Level Member. Enjoy unlimited access to 47 acres of oceanfront beauty—spring rhododendrons in bloom, dazzling summer dahlias, autumn mushrooms emerging from the forest floor, abundant wildlife, inspiring educational opportunities, and so much more.
Your membership does more than open the gates—it sustains them. Supporter Level Members help preserve public access to the coast, conserve and display plants in harmony with our Northern California ecosystems, and ensure that this vibrant landscape continues to educate, inspire, and delight for generations to come.
You can renew, gift, or purchase a new membership through our website or at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens at 18220 N. Highway 1, Fort Bragg, CA 95437. You can also earn a membership by volunteering 50+ hours!
