Tribute Gifts

Honor, Celebrate, and Remember

​

A tribute gift is a lasting way to celebrate a special occasion or honor the memory of a cherished family member or friend. The Gardens hold treasured memories—from quiet walks among blooming flowers to laughter shared with friends and milestones celebrated in our natural spaces. Your stories make this place meaningful, and a tribute gift allows you to mark these moments in a way that endures.​

Gifts in Celebration or Memory

Tribute gifts also honor the people and moments that enrich our lives. Whether celebrating a birthday, anniversary, graduation, new birth, or simply expressing gratitude to someone who has touched your life, these gifts create a lasting impact. A gift in honor or memory of someone special celebrates the moments that matter most while supporting the Garden’s work and helping sustain it for generations to come.

Memorial Benches

A memorial bench is a lasting, personal tribute to someone you love. Each redwood bench is handcrafted by local woodworkers and features an engraved bronze plaque commemorating your loved one. Benches have a 15-year term and include installation and annual maintenance. With your guidance, we will help select the perfect location within the Gardens. A portion of your $7,000 gift is tax-deductible, and each bench becomes a quiet place for reflection and remembrance for all who visit.
