We are always happy to receive your help in whatever way you can give it. Many people graciously decide to give donations, and we have several options for those who want to pursue this.You may give donations in Monthly or Yearly installments, or choose to give a One-Time donation. These donations are for the benefit of the garden. If you wish to donate online, please go HERE.

If you wish to donate to a specific project, you can designate your donation to be used solely for that purpose. Some donors prefer to give this way, so they can ensure their money goes to a project that is important to them. For these donations, please contact the Friends of the Arboretum at (657) 278-4010

In-Kind Donations are also welcomed. If you have equipment, furniture, wagons, garden tools, wheel barrows, or other related items you wish to donate for use on our grounds, please contact (657) 278-3407. We will take down a list of the items and evaluate whether we can use them. PLEASE do not bring items without prior approval. We may not approve the materials you bring and want to save you on the cost of transportation.

For many reasons we normally do not accept plant specimens as donations. If the plant is rare or unusual we may want to add it to our collections, but there is a high risk of disease transmission from foreign plants. Please contact our curator, Chris Barnhill, at (657) 278-2981 or cbarnhill@fullerton.edu to see if your plant would be a suitable addition to our collections.

For detailed information on the work we do here at the Fullerton Arboretum, have a look at our Annual Report.

Our memorial benches are a way you can honor a deceased relative or friend. For $5000 you can purchase a bench which will be placed in our garden. The bench features a plaque with the name of the honoree. For more information about how to buy a bench, please call (657) 278-3407 and we will provide you with the specifics.
