Tribute and Honor Gifts

Celebrate. Commemorate. Remember.

The beauty, wonder and serenity of the Chicago Botanic Garden combine to create a perfect setting in which to honor a loved one, pay tribute to a friend or mark a special anniversary or milestone.

Find just the right way to honor or remember a family member or cherished friend. An engraved brick on a Garden walkway is a distinctive tribute. A Garden bench is a restful place where visitors can be reminded of a gardener’s passion. A carillon concert dedicated to an appreciated friend is the perfect gift for a music lover. These are some of the ways the Chicago Botanic Garden can help you remember loved ones, mark a special occasion, or tell someone how much you care.

Contributions between $50 and $5,000 offer the opportunity
to dedicate the following:

	BOOKPLATE For your thoughtful contribution of $50 – $150, a bookplate will be placed on the inside front cover of a specially selected book or bound journal in the Lenhardt Library.
	COMMEMORATIVE BRICK An engraved brick in the Commemorative Brick Walkway across from the Visitor Center may be dedicated for a contribution of $500.
	TRIBUTE TREE Dedicate an existing tree located within our 385-acre Garden. Choose from a variety of existing trees ranging from $1,500 to $2,500.
	GARDEN BENCH An existing Chicago Botanic Garden bench located in a beautiful garden setting may be dedicated for a $5,000 contribution.
	CARILLON CONCERT DEDICATION A Monday evening carillon concert celebrating a special person or occasion can be dedicated with a $500 contribution.

Upon receipt of the gift, the Garden will notify your special person or that person's family with a card or letter describing the dedication. With a contribution of at least $150, the individual being honored or remembered will be listed in a special section of the Chicago Botanic Garden's Annual Report.
