American Horticultural Society (AHS) Garden Network

How it works

Free admission during regular open hours at more than 400 gardens for members of the American Horticultural Society and of participating network gardens.

• All gardens offer network visitors free admission during regular open hours. Check the garden's own listing, or call ahead, for its benefits and rules.
• Most gardens with parking offer it free to network visitors, but check before you visit.
• Free admission does not include special events, such as festivals or special exhibits.
• Some gardens apply a local-visitor exception and offer benefits only to visitors whose membership card address is more than 90 miles away. Check the AHS garden map and the garden itself to see whether it applies.
• Present your current membership card from AHS or a participating garden at the admissions counter or gift shop. A card admits only the people named on it; for a family, couple or household card without names, AHS asks the garden to admit the same number of people its own equivalent membership would.
• Gardens rely on admissions and donations. Support the ones you visit through their gift shops or a contribution.
