Revenue Streams

As a premier botanical garden, we plan to have many revenue streams that will support our everyday functions and long term goals. While financial independence and sustainability is a long term goal of ours, the work we do, the products we offer, and the experiences we provide are most important. As a large Portland institution, we hope to serve as an international tourism destination that will support our home city.
