Give the Gift of Growth: A Liberty Hyde Bailey Museum Membership This Christmas

This Christmas, give a gift that grows - a Liberty Hyde Bailey Museum & Gardens membership. Admission to the museum is always free, but membership offers something far greater: the joy of reciprocity and the satisfaction of supporting a living legacy.

A membership connects your loved ones to a nationwide community of gardens, museums, and nature centers. Through partnerships with the American Horticultural Society (AHS), the Association of Nature Center Administrators (ANCA), the Reciprocal Organization of Associated Museums (ROAM), and the North American Reciprocal Museum Association (NARM), members enjoy free or discounted admission to hundreds of destinations across the country.

Here is a list of just 10 out of thousands of places your membership connects to:

• Hidden Lake Gardens (Tipton, MI) - (available with all level memberships). With your membership you receive free admission - a $10 value.

• Air Zoo Aerospace & Science Museum (Portage, MI) - (Farmer membership and higher). With your membership you receive free admission - a $18 one day/$27 two-day value.

• Fernwood Botanical Garden & Nature Preserve (Niles, MI) - (available with all level memberships). With your membership you receive free admission - a $12 value.

• Cranbrook Art Museum (Bloomfield Hills, MI) - (Farmer membership and higher). With your membership you receive free admission - a $12 value.

Visiting just these ten locations adds up to more than $150 in savings - and that’s only a fraction of what’s available through reciprocal benefits nationwide. (Be sure to contact each location before visiting to confirm participation of reciprocity; some institutions extend reciprocity to additional guests beyond the cardholder.)

A Liberty Hyde Bailey Museum membership is the perfect gift for gardeners, travelers, and lifelong learners - one that plants seeds of curiosity and care. It's an invitation to explore, learn, and support a living legacy.

Memberships are available at several levels - from individual and family options to benefactor tiers that include national reciprocity benefits and admission to our bi-annual Bailey Fall Conference. To view all membership levels, benefits, and pricing, visit our Membership Page. As Liberty Hyde Bailey once wrote, “Every generation has its own test. The next generation will be tested by its relation to the earth.” This holiday season, pass it on with a gift that grows for the future generations.
