Sherman Society Membership & Benefits
By gifting a premium membership society, you enable Sherman to provide the community with horticultural displays, educational programs, and seasonal exhibits. The contributions of the Sherman Society are critical for the preservation of Sherman’s grounds, its collection of California Impressionist paintings, and the extensive historical collections of books, newspapers, photographs, articles, and memorabilia.
Thanks to the generosity of its members, Sherman Library & Gardens has grown and prospered since 1966 and remains a serene retreat like no other. It is a place for learning and experiencing horticulture, plant life, climate influences, nature, and the incredible development of the Pacific Southwest during the past 150+ years.
