Each step taken in our mission to provide a public green space for the education and enjoyment of our natural world would not be taken without the help of our closest Arboretum friends. Your business can also demonstrate a commitment to our natural world. By helping The Arboretum grow, your are providing a public green space for a better quality of life for the whole Cedar Valley.

Would you like an inexpensive way to reward your employees this summer and at the same time add value to our community? The Cedar Valley Arboretum & Botanic Gardens is one of the most beautiful, interesting, and family friendly spots in the Cedar Valley to have an outdoor celebration.

Become a Business Friend of The Arboretum for an annual donation of $250.00, and enjoy one completely free six hour rental per year, while helping The Arboretum to grow. Just picture your employees having a great time at The Arboretum! We are open dawn to dusk, April through October.

Give an in-kind gift. A business which gives goods or services to The Arboretum will receive recognition for the value of the goods consumed or services used. Only goods and services which meet The Arboretum’s Annual Goals will be accepted. The value recorded will be the retail of the good or services and only adjusted to reflect any discount the business routinely offers. 

While the time and dollars of many volunteers, committee and Board members help support The Arboretum over each fiscal year, only businesses will be listed as ‘In-Kind’ donors in the Annual Report.

Sponsor an event. Local businesses are solicited to cover the costs of special community-wide events held at The Arboretum. The specific levels and benefits of sponsorship for each event are determined on the needs of the event. Sponsors will be recognized in the Annual Report.
