CONTACT YOUR COUNCIL MEMBER AND TELL THEM THAT YOU SUPPORT THE SACRAMENTO BOTANICAL GARDEN


Across the USA, botanical gardens have often begun through the efforts of local volunteers. 

Here’s how you can help support Sacramento Botanical Garden and make it a reality:


1. Send an email to your council member and tell them that you support creating a world-class  botanical garden right here in Sacramento. See our sample letters of support, or write your own.  Put "I want a botanical garden in Sacramento" as your subject. 

2. Tell your friends.

3. Like us on Facebook (SacBoGarden) and Instagram (SacBo1) 

4. Go to our website and donate whatever you can (SacBo.org). No amount is too small.

Dear _____________

I fully support bringing a world class botanical garden to Sacramento and I am confident in the Sacramento Botanical Garden’s ability to do so. I am impressed by the amazing progress they have made in such a short time. It is clear that they have tremendous commitment to creating the garden. 

The botanical garden will add to Sacramento’s cultural assets through education and research, community outreach, and green tourism that highlights climate awareness. It will attract local residents and tourists, giving families an opportunity to bond and reduce stress. Individuals will visit to gain inspiration and knowledge. The positive effect of the garden on our city’s standing, both economically and culturally cannot be understated.

SAMPLE LETTER #3

Dear _________

I am writing in the support of the Sacramento Botanical Garden’s effort to develop a world-class botanical garden in the Sacramento area. The Sacramento Botanical Garden will allow Sacramento to join the ranks of other large cities with such an amenity, and will enrich our community in several ways. A botanical garden is an important scientific, research, and educational institution which will increase our region’s identity and brand recognition.

There is a need for a botanical garden that enhances and supports the community with economical, educational, and public health growth.


Yours truly,
