Present your current FBBG membership card at the admissions counter or gift shop to receive the RAP benefit(s) listed for that garden.*Please Note: Each membership card will only admit the individual(s) whose name is listed on the card. In the case of a family, couple, or household membership card that does not list individual names, the garden must extend the benefit(s) to at least two of the members. In this case, it is at the individual garden’s discretion to extend benefits to more than two individuals. Some gardens may require a photo ID.
