Join Bridge Gardens
Memberships purchased now are valid through December 31, 2025!
A membership to Bridge Gardens is a great way to show your support for this beautiful public garden, open daily with free admission. The gardens are a wonderful part of the community and provide you with a quiet place for exploration. And our demonstration vegetable garden, managed by Garden Director Rick Bogusch, provides fresh food to the Sag Harbor Food Pantry.
Our numerous in-person and virtual programs offer many chances to learn, and your membership offers you free or reduced fee access to all. Check out our instructional videos with Rick, along with Lawn Expert Paul Wagner and community gardener Justin Ruaysamran, who share garden and cooking tips you can use at home. The videos can be found on our website, blog, Instagram and Facebook.
At your next visit, take an audio tour of the gardens through TravelStorys!
