- All gardens offer network visitors free admission during regular open hours. Please see directory listings for individual gardens’ benefits and rules before planning your visit, or call your garden of interest before you plan your visit to learn more.
- Most gardens with parking offer it for free to network visitors but check before you visit.
- Free admission does not include special events, like festivals or special exhibits.
- Some network gardens apply a visitor exception—meaning the garden offers benefits (such as free admission) only to visitors whose membership card address is more than 90 miles from the garden. Please check the AHS Garden Network map information and consult the garden(s) you wish to visit to see whether the local-visitor exception is applied.
- When visiting a network garden, present your current membership card (from AHS or a participating network garden) at the admissions counter or gift shop to receive the benefit(s) listed for that garden. Each card will only admit the individual(s) whose name is listed on the card. In the case of a family, couple, or household membership card that does not list individual names, AHS requests that the garden honor the same number of people for free admission as the garden’s equivalent membership card would for their own members.
- Remember that the gardens you visit rely on admissions and donations to maintain their collections and gardens for all to enjoy. Please support them by visiting their gift shops or making a contribution.
