Membership
Join Friends of the Conservatory!
Become a member of Friends of the Conservatory to join hundreds of community members who share in the collective support of the Volunteer Park Conservatory. Whether it’s immersive plant experiences, educational offerings, enriching visits, arts and culture events, or plant sales – we have so much for you!
FOC membership is your way to declare that Volunteer Park Conservatory is an important space for you and your community. When you invest in a membership, your money goes directly to Friends of the Conservatory who steward and advocate for this community horticultural gem.
Memberships:
Individual - $30.
Membership benefits for one person.
Family/Household - $50.
Membership benefits for 2 or more people up to 8 who live in the same household or share family member designation.
Memberships may be purchased online, and, if needed, in-person sign-ups are possible in the Palm House Gift Shop. We’ll be happy to assist you and appreciate your support!
Membership Benefits
10% discount at the Palm House Gift Shop
10% discount and early entrance to FOC plant sales (generally held in May and September)
Discounted “FOC Member Price” tickets to FOC events
Subscription to FOC communications, which announce activity updates, volunteer opportunities, tour information, and more!
Cardless Memberships
FOC supports sustainability for our organization and the environment by using a cardless membership model. That means you won’t receive any cards in the mail. When members shop in the gift shop or at an FOC plant sale, FOC will check the membership list to apply your discount. No need to keep track of a membership card!
Family/Household members must provide the primary member’s name to access membership benefits. If you have any questions or need to make adjustments, contact: membership@volunteerparkconservatory.org
Sign up for FOC communications!
Friends of the Conservatory shares calendar dates for events and programming, volunteer opportunities, and more. Communications are generally sent once per month or less. Subscribe to receive special announcements!

Annual Passes
Did you know that Friends of the Conservatory receives $5 for every annual pass sold by SPR at Volunteer Park Conservatory? If you’re looking for more ways to support FOC and its mission, consider purchasing an annual pass at the SPR-operated kiosks onsite! You’ll enjoy the benefit of unlimited visits for a year while a small portion of your payment helps fund FOC.
