McKee Botanical Garden recognizes and appreciates its most dedicated and visionary supporters – Gatekeepers of the Garden. Gatekeepers of the Garden are a distinguished group of individuals who play a critical role in ensuring the vitality, excellence, and sustainability of  McKee. This select group of supporters demonstrate leadership within the community by being a true partner of the Garden and helping to uphold its storied legacy of educating, delighting, and enriching all who step through its gates.

When you become a Gatekeeper of the Garden, you’ll become a part of a community of neighbors, business leaders, artists, and advocates who are committed to sustaining this extraordinary place. Your support furthers our work in conservation, our dedication to the community, and our commitment to the environment.
