Ways to Help

Rest-Stop-Ranch is run by Mary, Karl, a four-person board, and volunteers. Members, volunteers, and staff are what keep every program free.

Donate

Every program here is free to guests. Gifts from neighbors and friends covered 48% of our 2025 budget, and our 2026 goal is $75,000. You can also give from a donor-advised fund.

Membership

A $95 annual membership supports the gardens and programs here, and gets you free or discounted admission to more than 400 gardens through the American Horticultural Society’s Reciprocal Admissions Program.
