The Gifford Arboretum is run by a mostly volunteer committee of graduate students, faculty, other members of the University Community and other members of the greater community of Miami. We organize and sponsor various activities throughout the year including:

• Annual Picnic and Plant Sale
• Annual Lecture hosting a distinguished plant biologist
• Horticultural Workshops with Miami-Dade Cooperative Extension
• David Fairchild Medal for Plant Exploration Award at the Kampong
• Interdisciplinary activities with UM Departments and Miami area botanical research organizations (Fairchild Tropical Garden, Montgomery Botanical Center, National Tropical Botanical Garden, Florida Native Plant Society)

The Gifford Arboretum introduces new membership levels.  Until now, membership in the Arboretum has been totally free.  Members have been receiving invitations to our events, updates on our activities, free admission to our events and events we co-sponsor (with the Native Plant Society and the Kampong, for example).  To help defray the cost of mailing and to support our programs, we will now be asking members to pay an annual fee.  We introduce special benefits to donors at higher levels.
