Become a Klehm Member

There are many reasons to become a Klehm member. The first reason, of course, is daily access to Klehm’s 155 acres of signature gardens and woodland beauty. With two miles of accessible paths, people of all ages and physical abilities can connect with nature on a personal level. Plus, the whole family will enjoy free or discounted programs and special events, in addition to the health benefits of walking and playing outdoors. Your membership support also improves the quality of life for everyone in the Rockford region, as public gardens reflect community values and enhance the environment in ways that attract businesses and economic prosperity.
