One-time Donation
from $25.00

Support Hendersonville's only public garden with your one-time donation. Bullington Gardens offers educational activities and Horticultural programs to students and adults, some with various physical and mental challenges. Our educational and Horticultural programs enrich the lives of visitors and students with sensory activities, science based learning and good old fashioned hands in the dirt. Students learn how to plan their gardens, choose their plants, grow and care for them and see the fruits of their labors. Our Horticultural Therapy students also get the opportunity to grow and care for gardens with added activities to enrich their experience.

Honor & Memorial Donation

Honor your family members, friends and loved ones by supporting Bullington Gardens with an Honor Card. Your generous, tax-deductible gift will help provide horticultural therapy and plant science education to students of all ages.

When you make an Honor Card donation to Bullington Gardens, your loved one will receive an attractive card sent by mail notifying them of your gift in their name. You can also personalize the card that is sent with the recipient’s name and for different occasions.

There are many special occasions when a donation makes for the perfect gift; memorials and bequests, birthdays, holidays, celebrations, milestones and achievements, anytime, in honor of someone special.
