How to Donate to the Bonsai Garden at Lake Merritt
The Bonsai Garden at Lake Merritt (BGLM) is recognized as one of the jewels of Oakland. It is treasured by locals, and it is one of the top attractions for visitors to “The Town”. The BGLM is open to the public free of charge throughout the year and is entirely managed and staffed by volunteers. All of our trees have been donated to us by bonsai artists and collectors, and we are funded solely through donations. All donations go to support the BGLM.
The BGLM is a subsidiary of the Golden State Bonsai Federation (GSBF), which is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) educational organization, and your contributions are tax-deductible.
Donations can be made online. Please follow the below instructions.
If you prefer to donate by check, please make your check payable to “Golden State Bonsai Collection” and mail to BGLM, PO Box 16176, Oakland, CA 94610. Please note on the check “Donation.”
Please donate any amount to help support the next phase of our journey together.
