With an operating budget of $4 million and a dedicated team of 60 staff members, the Garden is owned by the City of Memphis and is managed through a sustainable operating contract by the Memphis Botanic Garden Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization governed by a 20-member Board of Directors and an 18-member Advisory Board.
