Our Mission

Members of the Friends of the Garden (FOG) are individuals and families who support the botanical, horticultural and environmental objectives of the no-for-profit registered Canadian charity called Memorial University Botanical Garden Inc.

With a membership of almost 500, some Friends volunteer their time and expertise in such activities as trail patrol, carpentry, maintaining the Wildlife Garden, growing plants for the popular plant sales, as well as a sponsoring special events. Volunteers have assisted the Botanical Garden since its inception in 1971. The Friends offically formed in 1976 and became a charitable organization in 1977.
