The Friends of Boerner Botanical Gardens, Inc. (FBBG) was established in 1984 in order to preserve and promote historic Boerner Botanical Gardens as an outstanding regional destination for learning and enjoyment.
FBBG’s K-12 student centered, outcomes driven, nature based, plant science and environmental education, occurs largely in the gardens, and is the centerpiece of our mission and our initiatives.
Since our inception, we have continually expanded and formalized our programming in order to ensure that all children have substantive, measurable, in nature, experiential learning.
Our programming engages students' senses and equips developing minds with tools for learning that they will carry with them and utilize throughout their lives.
The mission of Friends of Boerner Botanical Gardens, Inc. (FBBG) is to provide a garden setting for inquiry-based learning and engagement that nurtures understanding, enjoyment, and stewardship of our natural world
while nourishing and preserving the gardens
for future generations.

“It is not only for us but our
children and grandchildren
who will reap the benefits.”
Alfred L. Boerner, Landscape Architect & Visionary (1939)
