Put Down Roots (Pick Up Blooms)
Our Sanctuary
We Need Places Where We Can Put Down Roots.
In an increasingly fast-paced world, finding a place to truly connect—with nature, with our families, and with our neighbors—is becoming rarer. The Wilbur D. May Arboretum is far more than just a beautiful garden; it is the cultural heartbeat of Reno and Sparks.
It's where families lay out blankets for the Picnic in the Park Music Series to hear the Reno Pops Orchestra. It's where children discover the wonders of the outdoors during hands-on Tree Walks. Without the vital funding and volunteer dedication provided by the May Arboretum Society, these irreplaceable moments would slowly fade away.
You Hold the Power to Keep it Thriving.
With the Charity in Bloom program, your intentional giving directly supports the soul of our city, while bringing premium, luxury florals into your own home.
