Tribute Program
The Holden Arboretum offers its members, donors and friends an opportunity to honor them ember of a loved one or mark special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries or graduations. For many, selecting a tribute is an opportunity to do something extraordinary for someone special.
Unless otherwise designated, your tribute gift will be used for new plantings and ongoing maintenance of our beautiful gardens. All honorees receive notification of the gift. Bench sites and trees are pre-selected by the Horticulturist to support the overall landscape plan of Holden. At the discretion of the Horticulturist, a tree, shrub or bench may be moved or replaced due to natural causes or to a change in the design of the gardens.
Tribute Library Books $100 or more
Let our librarian select a much needed book for our library. A commemorative bookplate with your honoree’s name will be affixed inside the book.
Tribute Tree or Shrub $1,500
Select an existing tree for your special honoree. A commemorative plaque with your honoree’s name will be placed near or on the tree.
Tribute Bench $3,500
Select one of the pre-determined sites for a bench to honor your recipient. A commemorative plaque with the honorees name and a short inscription will be affixed to the bench.
You will notice as you walk around our grounds named gardens and garden beds. Gardens and garden beds are available at $25,000 and above.
