The Cultivators are a community of supporters creating something bigger than any one donation could accomplish. With a monthly gift of $10 or more, you can make a lasting difference all year long.

Together, The Cultivators are helping to care for 60+ beautiful gardens, protect natural spaces, inspire environmental stewardship, and ensure the Garden remains a place where everyone can build a meaningful connection to nature. Every gift helps cultivate that mission, and our community, one season at a time.

Anyone can plant a tree. It takes committed care to help it thrive. By becoming a Cultivator, your monthly gift provides the dependable support that keeps Norfolk Botanical Garden growing, blooming, and inspiring visitors every day of the year.

Beautiful gardens don’t happen by chance; they’re cultivated!

What does cultivation mean in a garden setting?

Loosening soil to help water, air, and nutrients better reach plant roots.

• • The Cultivators is a group we want to reach out to for feedback, whether it’s on merch design ideas, surveys about the Garden, or getting The Cultivators’ input after an event. Your insight can help keep things fresh and allow new ideas to filter through and inspire the NBG Team.

Weeding to keep plants healthy and thriving.

• • Don’t worry, we’re not talking about people! Weeding for The Cultivators is more about the internal work, the work that NBG staff do to help the program run. As the program continues to grow, your input and ideas may inspire change, improvements, or new ideas entirely. So, if something’s not working, let us know!

Nurturing plants to help them grow strong.

• • With The Cultivators, nurturing is reciprocal. You nurture the Garden with a sustaining gift, and we work to make sure you have a thriving and beautiful garden to enjoy and share for years to come.
