JOHN GREEN SOCIETY / LEADERSHIP GIVING SOCIETY

The John Green Society honors annual leadership donors committed to New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill’s mission. Named for the first president of the Worcester County Horticultural Society, its members share the special joy of horticulture expressed by John Green. Your gift, along with other philanthropic leaders, provides the centerpiece of support that provides exploration of nature’s beauty and wonder, contribution to sustainability and climate resiliency, and enriching experiences for all visitors. At New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill, we celebrate our members and provide opportunities to make deeper connections with one another and the mission of the Garden – to create experiences with plants that inspire people and improve the world.
