THE HEIRLOOM SOCIETY – Memphis Botanic Garden

Gift a legacy to the community.

The Heirloom Society

There is no greater honor you can bestow than the heirloom of your generosity. The Heirloom Society allows donors the unique opportunity to gift a legacy to the community – one that connects people to nature and our environment.

A Legacy Rooted at the Garden

Individuals who have included the Memphis Botanic Garden Foundation, Inc. in their estate plans become members of The Heirloom Society. This program, established in 2022, gives the Garden the opportunity to acknowledge thoughtful giving toward the future of the Garden.

Benefits of Heirloom Society membership include:

A distinctive lapel pin
An invitation to our annual Heirloom Evening
Pride in the knowledge that you will be supporting the Garden and its mission well into the future.

Further, it is our intention that your bequest will be added to our endowment to ensure your legacy to the community makes a difference for generations to come.

Ways of Giving

"An heirloom is defined as a 'valuable thing that has belonged to a family for generations.' Memphis Botanic Garden has served our family community for over 70 years through horticulture, events, education, and outdoor entertainment. These 96 acres are a true heirloom for all of us and a legacy for generations to come.

I ask that you consider becoming a member of our Heirloom Society by designating a portion of your estate to the treasure that is Memphis Botanic Garden; future Memphians will benefit from your gift for years to come, and I thank you in advance for your generosity."
