Raulston Arboretum and the Raleigh Garden Club 2027 Garden Tour

JC Raulston Arboretum and the Raleigh Garden Club are partnering to produce a garden tour on May 7 and 8, 2027. Both RGC and JCRA are 501(c)3 organizations that share the mission of furthering the study of horticulture, landscape design, ecological impact and our passion for plants. This garden tour will be a fundraiser that will benefit both organizations equally.

The tour will include 8 to 9 gardens in the Raleigh area. The gardens are all different and include shade/ sun gardens, formal/ informal landscaping, grassy areas/ hardscape, unique sculpture, water features, woodland trails and many variations on outdoor dining and relaxation. All gardens were designed and are maintained by the homeowner who will be present to answer questions and give guidance to visitors. In addition, each garden will feature an artisan displaying and selling their artwork.

We are currently looking for sponsors for our event. Your sponsorship will help enable these two organizations to support their missions in and around Raleigh. At our last tour we sold almost 500 tickets and this time we are hoping to sell 700-800. Sponsorship levels and benefits are listed below.

Garden Friend: $250  Two tour tickets, your name on posters at each garden and on our tour website, and your sponsor name or logo on our tour brochure ticket.

Supporting Sponsor: $500  Four tour tickets, your name on posters at each garden and on our tour website, your sponsor logo on our tour brochure ticket and the opportunity to co-sponsor a garden with a sign or banner and company handouts at the check in desk.

Garden Sponsor: $1000  Six tour tickets, all of the above Gold benefits along with being a primary sponsor of one garden.
