Bench

Price Varies

Name or expression inscribed on aluminum plate on teak benches located throughout the Garden.

Memorials and tributes via the Garden’s bench program are considered charitable donations, and the bench and plate are owned by the Garden.

If it’s determined that a bench is no longer functional, safe, or unacceptable aesthetically, the Garden has the right to remove the bench.

As a number of our memorial and tribute items exist out in nature, they may experience various degrees of weathering or wear. The Garden guarantees the item will remain in an open to the public place for the expected life cycle of the item.

If the item needs to be moved at any time, we will use the contact information on file and attempt to notify you. Should your contact information change, please advise the Garden. Proper maintenance of the item will be determined by the Garden Team.
