Program Details

Give A Tree: Donate a Tree for $500 or $1200

Celebrate life’s meaningful moments—whether it’s a birthday, marriage, retirement, or honoring the memory of a loved one—by dedicating a tree at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden. Each tree serves as a lasting tribute, fostering a connection to nature and supporting the Garden’s mission.

Memorial Tree Program Details

  • Donation Levels: Trees are available at two price points: $500 and $1200.
  • Plaques and Dedications:
    • Donated trees include a plaque with a personalized 3-4 line dedicatory message.
    • Ornamental tree plaques are silver, and shade tree plaques are black and gold, both approximately 5x7 inches.
    • Dedications last for the life of the tree, typically 10 years. If a tree does not survive this timeframe, the Garden will replace it at no additional cost.
  • Japanese Garden Note: In keeping with the tradition of Japanese Gardens worldwide, memorial trees in the Japanese Garden do not include plaques or signage.
