Bonfante Gardens,
Inc.
Bonfante Gardens, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. After selling their Nob Hill Foods
supermarkets, the Park was founded by Michael and Claudia Bonfante and is designed to educate guests and to foster a greater
appreciation of horticulture. The Park features over forty rides,
attractions, educational exhibits and majestic gardens.
Now, a Board of Directors guides the decision
making for the development, maintenance, and operation of this unique
park. The goal is to return a percentage of annual revenues back into
beautification and parks projects throughout neighboring communities. The
Board
of Directors is specifically challenged to find public works projects
to initiate and/or support those that follow the ideals of preservation, stewardship
and ecology for which the theme park stands. At this time the Park is
not set up for individual grants.
