Our membership program was designed around a set of benefits such as discounts for tickets, merchandise, classes, and more. The pandemic caused most of these to become obsolete in 2020 and now into 2021. This prompted Hudson Gardens to carefully evaluate the membership program from functional and financial perspectives. During this process, we paid close attention to comments from our long-term and newest members, many of whom expressed that their membership contributions are more about supporting Hudson Garden as a community asset and less about individual perks. Therefore, we are transitioning from a benefits-based program to a benefactor program in order to use the resources of time and money for meaningful improvements to this valuable community asset. Here is a quick summary of the key changes:
What’s New:
- Memberships are now benefactor-based. Specifically, we have retired the benefits associated with ticketed events (The Summer Concert Series, Brews & Views, and A Hudson Christmas) as well as the discounts for classes and Gift Shop merchandise. The time and resources required to maintain the program as it was will go towards improvements such as new garden exhibits, public art, and the development of community events.
- Memberships are now paperless! To save resources and make the most of your contribution, membership cards and all other communications will be digital. However, members who prefer printed membership cards can order them for pickup at the Welcome Center/Gift Shop. Printed cards will not be delivered through the mail. Order your printed membership cards here, and please wait for an email confirmation to pick them up.
- Members will receive exclusive offers. We will send these exclusive offers to the primary member’s email as a reminder of our gratitude.
- Membership Levels are Eliminated. Instead of different membership levels (Friend, Supporter, Patron, Steward, Sustainer, and Benefactor), those who make an annual contribution of $35 or more will be Members of our new Benefactor Club.
What’s the Same:
- Admission privileges and discounts at nearly three-hundred participating gardens and arboreta through the American Horticultural Society’s Reciprocal Admissions Program.
- A one-year subscription to your choice of Better Homes & Gardens or Martha Stewart Living. Members will receive instructions for redeeming this offer in the welcome email.
