Sherman Society Gold Memberships
Welcome to the Sherman Society Gold Membership Portal

Your Membership

As a Sherman Society Gold member, you will be giving the vital support needed to provide the community with horticultural displays, educational programs, seasonal exhibits, as well as preservation of the buildings, the California Impressionist paintings, and the extensive historical collection 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.
