Double Your Impact: Help Children Grow Through Nature

Children’s Education and Youth Programs Fund

At Royal Botanical Gardens, nature is the classroom.

Through RBG’s Children’s Education and Youth Programs, children get outside to explore, ask questions and learn by doing. From planting and tending gardens to discovering pollinators, forests and wetlands, these hands-on experiences help children build confidence, curiosity and a lasting connection with nature.

Your gift today will help these programs continue to grow, giving children more opportunities to learn, explore and connect with nature. And right now, your gift will be matched!

Thanks to a generous matching gift from our friend Arnold, in memory of his late wife, Grace, donations to the Children’s Education and Youth Programs Fund will be matched, up to a total of $25,000.

Make your gift by October 31, 2026, to have your donation matched.

Help Create More “Greenery Days”

For more than 20 years, RBG has been part of Arnold and Grace’s family story.

Their daughter, Kathryn, remembers her parents visiting RBG and her own children attending camps, exploring the forests on school trips and enjoying family visits they came to call “Greenery Days.”

Grace believed deeply in the power of education, and especially in the lessons children discover outdoors. She often said, “The best lessons happen outdoors in nature.”

After Grace passed away, Arnold wanted to honour her memory at a place that held so many special memories for their family.

That’s why he is matching gifts to RBG’s Children’s Education and Youth Programs Fund.

It’s an invitation to help more children discover the wonder of nature, build confidence and create memories that can last a lifetime.

Grow your impact today.
