For a single or collective tribute donation of $750 or more , Woodlands staff will purchase and plant a tree within the Garden’s eight acres that will honor and remember an individual, group, or special event of your choosing. Once planted, Tribute Trees will grow and blossom, year after year, while helping to enrich the life-giving canopy of this community greenspace.
Participants in Woodlands’ Tribute Tree program will receive: A letter and tax-deductible receipt acknowledging their gift; A handwritten note mailed to the honorees, if desired; An option to have the honoree’s name listed along with our Tribute Tree honorees on the Garden’s website and on display at the Visitors Center; The knowledge that they have created a lasting legacy that adds beauty to the Garden and provides a habitat for its ecosystem.
Tribute Trees can celebrate: births & birthdays, engagements, marriages, anniversaries, retirements, graduations, bar mitzvahs or bat mitzvahs, the memory of loved ones and pets, Mother’s or Father’s Day, and many other special occasions.
Questions
How much does it cost to donate a tree?
Tribute Trees require a $750 donation, which directly supports the care and maintenance of our tree canopy and is 100% tax-deductible.
Who will select the type of tree?
Woodlands staff will select your Tribute Tree from these native species based on the Garden’s long-term planting plans and current needs.
Where will my Tribute Tree be planted?
Tribute Trees will be planted throughout the Garden in locations that will enhance the long-term health of the Garden’s canopy. After planting, the location of your tribute tree will be designated on a map and found on the Garden’s website.
Will my tree be marked with a sign or plaque?
No. To keep visitor focus on the natural wonders of the Garden, Woodlands does not place signs or plaques at Tribute Trees. Instead, a list of all Tribute Tree honorees will be publicly available on the Garden’s website and on display at the Visitors Center if desired by the donor. Donors also will receive letters acknowledging the donation.
When will my Tribute Tree be planted?
Woodlands staff will professionally plant your tree in either spring or fall based on the needs of the tree and the requirements of the Garden.
