Spring2ACTion Today Through April 15 for AHS’s River Farm

Friday, April 3 kicks off Early Giving for ACT of Alexandria’s annual Spring2ACTion online giving day for non-profits. 

The American Horticultural Society (AHS) at River Farm is participating again this year, and this time around, our need for donations is even stronger. Due to the COVID-19-related temporary closure of our manor house, grounds, and gardens, we have lost substantial revenue from cancelled property rentals, programming, workshops, and events. The AHS is self-funded, does not receive government support, and is not endowed; thus, we’re dependent on the generosity of people like you who support our sustainable gardening mission and appreciate the educational outreach, programs, and resources we provide, including at our beautiful and historic River Farm headquarters. 

Your contribution between now and April 15 (Giving Day) to our Spring2ACTion fundraiser will help ensure a continued sustainable future for us. Many thanks for your support!

AHS Kicks Off Year-End Giving Campaign With #GivingTuesday

As gardeners, we all can make a difference for the planet. That’s why the AHS is encouraging you to resolve to grow greener in 2020. Our gardens may seem small compared to big environmental challenges like climate change and the loss of pollinator species, but the truth is that every gardener has the power to make a difference by committing to practice—and promote—Earth-friendly gardening.

The AHS is committed to making Earth-friendly gardening an integral part of American life. And everything we do is made possible through the support of the general public.

By becoming an AHS member or making a donation, you can help us inspire all Americans to fall in love with gardening and become responsible caretakers of the Earth, from articles in AHS’s The American Gardener magazine to programs like our National Children & Youth Garden Symposium that are growing the next generation of stewardship gardeners.

Donate now! Your support is appreciated!
