Ways to Donate

​Our mission is horticultural education and our passion is connecting people
and plants to enhance the community.

  • In-Kind Donations 
    SMAS accepts plants, cuttings and pots and containers. We do not accept chemicals such as synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and insecticides.
  • Monetary Donations
    We gratefully accept any amount which may be contributed as a one-time donation or as a recurring donation at a frequency of your choosing. You may also target a donation for a specific project or program.
  • ​​​Order Tribute Bricks
    Purchase engraved, personalized bricks for permanent placement along the pathway in the Butterfly-Hummingbird Garden has now been expanded to the Rose Garden. The revenue from this campaign supports our mission to educate the community and maintain and enhance several Central Park gardens. We make every effort to install tribute bricks quickly. But the typical time to process and install a tribute brick is approximately 3 months as we depend on an outside vendor to create them.
