Leaving a gift in your will

Leaving a gift in your will helps to secure the care needed for the incredible collections that make Oxford Botanic Garden and Arboretum vibrant places for all to visit and enjoy.

Why gifts in wills are important

Gifts in wills have helped to develop our collections, build a team of world-leading professionals, engage with new audiences and transform our spaces. Thanks to legacy gifts, we are able to keep caring for spaces that attract international visitors and provide vital green spaces to local residents.

Discussing your plans

If you are considering leaving a gift to Oxford Botanic Garden and Arboretum in your will, please contact Spencer Wisdom or Caroline Reynolds in the Legacies Team who will be pleased to have an informal chat with you. We are also happy to provide any guidance you may need and the wording to share with your solicitor or family members.

A will is very personal, and we quite understand if you prefer to keep your intentions private. However, if you do wish to let us know about a gift in your will, we will be delighted to thank you personally and invite you to events of interest.
