BECOME A FRIEND OF THE HAMILTON GARDENS AND BE A PART OF THE FUTURE OF HAMILTONS MOST ICONIC LOCATIONHamilton Gardens has been built on a long tradition of volunteering. Hundreds of community volunteers have transformed the former rubbish dump into an internationally regarded garden. The Friends of Hamilton Gardens has played a critical part in this transformation.
Formed in 1989 by individuals with a desire to support the growth of the Gardens, the Friends continues to raise awareness and promote the use and enjoyment of the Gardens. We also staff the Information Centre daily. Now, with the Gardens undertaking its ambitious goal to build five gardens in four years, the Friends is the community face of the Gardens and continues to play a key role in fundraising and hosting promotional events alongside Hamilton City Council. As a Friend you'll attend private garden unveilings, receive invitations for behind-the-scenes tours of gardens under development, receive discounts at local retailers and invitations to special events. You will also enjoy knowing you are making a valuable contribution to the Gardens being recognised as an internationally significant garden. It is important for the friends to diversify their membership and create a succession plan for the future of the Hamilton Gardens. Not only will you get to be a part of an amazing group of people supporting the future of the gardens, your membership will put you in reach of locals from the Hamilton community, which is proven very helpful for those looking for jobs! It's about who you know, not what you know. When you sign up you'll receive:
