What’s next?

For the first time in its 60+ year history, Western Hills Garden is being run as a nonprofit. We are in the process of applying for our own 501(c)(3) status and have received fiscal sponsorship in the meantime which allows us to accept tax-deductible donations and grants to support our day-to-day operations and longer term vision.

Our strategic goals are to:

  • preserve and steward this historically important garden property

  • present public opportunities to connect with nature, learn about ecology, find inspiration and express creativity

  • encourage new ideas to take root

We look forward to building partnerships with schools, nonprofits, artists, makers, and other local groups and to continue to serve the community as a place for natural exploration, discovery, and wonder.

Our mission is to link people, plants, and place with possibility.

We aim to preserve the unique, mature, biodiverse ecosystem and legacy of Western Hills, and continue to provide opportunities for the public to connect, learn, create, and grow.
