GRBG Association

The GRBG is a community-based organization. It is not a national Botanical Garden and is not funded by SANBI or NBI. The GRBG is funded largely by the surrounding communities, mainly in the form of sponsors, donations and the volunteering of time and expertise.

An Association member is anyone from anywhere, who would like to help the Herbarium and Garden become a really first class resource for; creating environmental awareness; for environmental education; and as recreational facility for the people of George, the Southern Cape, the rest of South Africa, as well as the rest of the world.
