Trees
Celebrate the life of someone special with a tree dedication. A donation of $2,500 will provide for the dedication of a tree from our existing collections and ensure the Arboretum’s continued growth for future generations. Your tree dedication includes a personalized recognition plaque for the natural life of the tree. Click HERE, for more information on the tree dedication process.

Benches
A bench dedication offers a wonderful place to rest and reflect while enjoying the beautiful Arboretum grounds. For a donation of $20,000, a donor can work with Arboretum staff to find a suitable location for a tribute bench. Each teak bench, expected to last 25 years, includes an attached brass plaque engraved with two lines of 30 characters each.
