Duke Gardens Society
Duke Gardens Society is an important donor community that provides our most generous supporters the opportunity to make a deeper connection with, and contribution to, the mission of Duke Gardens. Membership in Duke Gardens Society is open to households who make a contribution of $1,000 or more annually to the Gardens’ Annual Fund, helping us invest in the future of this world-class botanic garden in the heart of Duke and Durham. These gifts were received during the 2021 fiscal year (July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021).
