Over 300 Member Locations

We enjoy photographing botanicals, historical homes, museums, nature centers and planetariums.

Prior to departure I take a look at the American Horticultural Society RAP (reciprocal admission program) on their website AmericanHort.ahs.org

With a current membership, visitors are allowed special admission privileges and / or discounts to over 300 participating gardens, arboreta and conservatories in the US, District of Columbia, and two in Canada. 

Last summer we attended Atlanta Botanical Garden’s Chihuly Exhibit at no charge as it was included in our local membership.  I did call ahead as recommended, and photo ID is required. Also suggested is confirming any 90-mile exclusion policy based on your home address.

In our area a Dual category is $70 a year. This includes unlimited entry, “Members Only” events throughout the year, and educational programs for all ages along with gift shop discounts.

As noted on the site these gardens rely on gifts and donations. Consider supporting your local public centers. We look forward to toting our tripod through the Edison and Ford Winter Estates or Flamingo Gardens.
