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.
