A commemorative tree is $1,500. Tree costs may vary depending upon the species and the size of the tree. Cost includes the tree price, cast bronze plaque, shipping, labor, and materials to stake, mulch, water, and on-going maintenance. 

A commemorative bench and plaque requires a donation of $2,500. This includes the bench, plaque, labor and materials.
