Bud Out at Bernheim




Our spring membership drive lasts throughout the month of April, and our goal is to have 350 new and 300 renewing members. Spring is the perfect time to visit Bernheim and experience the changing seasons and new growth. Join or renew anytime in April and save $5 on a household membership when you use the Promo Code BUD.

You can also be entered into a raffle for some exciting Bernheim prizes by referring your “buds” to become Bernheim members. Scroll down for more details.

 

 

Refer a friend and “bud out at Bernheim!”

This spring share your love for Bernheim by helping us grow! Bernheim is 100% donor and member supported. By inviting your friends and family to become new members, you are helping Bernheim be a more sustainable nonprofit by sharing what you love, with those you love.

When existing members refer their “buds” to become a Bernheim member, both the existing member and new member will be entered into a drawing to win one of three Bernheim prize baskets. Prizes include a kayak adventure on Lake Nevin (typically off-limits!), Bernheim swag bag, and a rare pink variegated Japanese maple tree valued at $150.

This program will end on April 30, 2022 – Start recruiting your “buds” now! Any mailed referral forms must be received by May 15, 2022 to be entered into the prize drawing.

    One 5-gallon Acer palmatum‘Kotobuki’ – with an average height of six feet and width of five feet, this Japanese maple is ideal for container gardening, or gardens that have space limitations. A rare feature in Japanese maples is pink variegation…and this one has it! Each spring brings new pink variegated leaves and the fall color is a mix of orange and red hues. Truly a specimen for all seasons.
