Memorials, Honorariums & Planned Giving
We're proud to recognize your tax-decutible gift in honor of a friend or loved one with a memorial at the Arboretum.
Trees and Shrubs - $500
We're happy to work with you to determine a location and specific plant that will serve as the living memorial for your loved one. Your planted tree or woodland shrub features a metal identification tag that acknowledges your gift.
Granite Bench - Variable
We work with a local artist to design a granite bench which features engraved lettering recognizing your friend or loved one. Once installed within the Arboretum, this bench serves as a wonderful place to visit - natural, peaceful, and filled with life.
Planned Giving - Legacy Society
A planned gift is a philanthropic gift and legacy that is funded either during your lifetime or after your death; the gift is part of a larger estate-planning process in which you decide how certain assets are distributed.
