An Urban Oasis is how Monk Botanical Gardens has been described by thousands of visitors. Green space for the community to learn, engage and renew is a valuable commodity. And we need your help to continue to provide this unique "urban oasis."

You are invited to become part of a growing community of people who proudly support our Gardens . . . by investing in the Monk Botanical Gardens, today.

A beautifully engaging, continually evolving botanical garden does not happen effortlessly. It depends, in critical ways, on the generous hearts of donors like YOU!

Will you invest in the Gardens' success by making a generous gift today?

The Gardens has always been Wausau's urban oasis, which is more important now than ever. Even more, our community visits the Gardens, craving nature to help reduce their anxiety and connect with each other in a safe, responsible way.

Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, the investments from people, like YOU, around the community transformed 2020 from a natural disaster into an unexpected success for the Gardens.

Thanks to donors like you, our annual support increased, our programs and events were executed safely, and more people participated than ever. We were able to offer the community the ability to experience various ways to connect with nature and each other.

But, we need your support to continue this success. Please send a gift today!

We are grateful for the community's commitment to our success. We are excited about continuing to work with donors like you and volunteers to meet our mission to connect people to plants through various programs and provide a community treasure in 2021 and beyond! Your support will help us to:

Provide hands-on, environmental education experiences for children and families free through our Afterschool in the Gardens and Head Start in the Gardens programs, serving over 400 children a year with over 350 hours of programming.
Continue to nurture the love of nature and gardening through our new Sprouts Garden Preschool.
Provide over 4,000 children and 7,000 community members a year, through our extensive programming such as Hands-on Plants adult workshops, family-friendly events such as Alice in the Gardens, & gardening with seniors at Our House (to name a few of the over 150 programs and events offered in 2021).

To offer any of the above requires community investment from individual donors like you. The Gardens' annual campaign is our single most important and stable source of funding.

Please give a gift today and be part of this growing organization and community asset. Thank you for your careful consideration.
