Stonecrop Gardens Membership

Membership offers free access to this 12-acre paradise for horticultural enthusiasts, as well as invitations to special events and discounts on lectures, workshops, seeds and plants.  Most importantly, membership in Stonecrop supports these remarkable gardens and the School of Practical Horticulture, which provides training to both professional and amateur gardeners.

Stonecrop members share a passion for plants, and their enthusiasm and support are the lifeblood of the garden.  This family of members is invited to gather at several seasonal events throughout the year, and to attend workshops hosted by Stonecrop staff and outside experts.
