At Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, we consider members part of the family and benefit from their collective talents, wisdom, and enthusiasm. Members benefit, too, and in a wide variety of ways. We invite you to select a membership that’s just right for your needs and budget. See below for the types of memberships available and the benefits associated with them. We hope you’ll sign up today; and remember - memberships make great gifts!

Add value to your membership with our Bring-A-Guest! option. For $50 annually, you can upgrade any standard membership package to include free admission for any guest you accompany on any visit to the Gardens. Add the Bring-A-Guest! upgrade to your membership or gift memberships; it’s a great way to introduce all your friends and family to the Gardens.  You can also upgrade your membership to include multiple guests at any visit by purchasing more than one Bring-A-Guest! upgrade. Choose the membership package that best suits your needs, and then add one or more Bring-A-Guest upgrades to your shopping cart, or call the Membership office to upgrade.
