Support the Gardens: Donate Now

Donate Now Through CanadaHelps.org!

When you donate to the Friends of the Gardens, you join us in growing a beautiful garden, supporting water conservation, encouraging native pollinators and adapting to climate change.

The 15-acre Gardens are the result of more than 100 years of continuous care by hundreds of people. Since 1991, they have been managed by volunteers and funded only by memberships, fundraising activities and donations. Although Agriculture and Agri-food Canada supports the Friends of the Gardens with in-kind services, we do not receive funding from the federal government. Your support has immediate benefits. And because we are a not-for-profit society with a charitable designation, your donations of $25.00 or more receive a receipt for income tax purposes.

FOG is especially grateful for monthly donations, which enable us to plan ahead for gardeners’ wages and other expenses. Just click on the “Donate Now” button; CanadaHelps makes setting up a monthly giving program–or a single donation–easy.

Donations can also be made by credit card through PayPal, or by sending an e-transfer to friends.summerlandgardens@gmail.com. Please include your email or physical address so we can send you a receipt.

To donate by cheque, please make it payable to Friends of the Gardens and mail it to Box 1363, Summerland, BC, V0H 1Z0.

Visitors to the Gardens may place cash or a cheque in one of the donation bins, or use the QR code on the bin.

Large or small, every donation helps. Thank you!
