Free Admission Program
One way for our member gardens to celebrate National Public Gardens Day is to participate in the NPGD free admission program! Visitors to BHG.com will be directed to download a voucher for free admission to any participating public garden on National Public Gardens Day. Not only does this generous offer help to promote public gardens through a highly influential publication, but it can also lead to potential memberships through visitation. Here is the 2012 voucher:
