Grow your legacy at Boone County Arboretum

Disambiguation: This page of donation options focuses specifically on the "Growing A Legacy" program at Boone County Arboretum. To make a general donation, please visit our General Donations page.

Introduction:
Thank you for your interest in our "Growing A Legacy" tribute and planned giving program. Our most commonly received gifts are for tribute plants and hardscape components. These have fixed amounts and are listed below. Many can include a personalized message, perfect for recognizing a special person or occasion. Installation timeframe is dependent on several factors, including but not limited to supplier delays, weather, staff availability, and other operational commitments.

There are several other giving options that have variable amounts, such as include special garden areas and projects, sponsoring educational workshops, internship fellowships, endowment contributions, and so on. (If you are contributing as part of a group, just select "Add to group donation" and be sure to put the person being honored in the appropriate box. We will keep a running total for further coordination with the family.) 

Regardless of whether the amount is set or variable, most of these donation options will require at least some degree of prior coordination with the Arboretum staff - there needs to be ONE contact person for any physical memorials relating to the same honoree; the form below provides a way to list this person. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

 

** Note: physical installation of new brick pavers happens only twice per year, to minimize the necessary disruption and resetting of existing pavers.

Acknowledgment: *

By selecting yes and submitting this form I understand and agree to the following:

  • Scheduling of a memorial installation is dependent on weather conditions, staff availability, and other operational commitments; dates and times may be adjusted as needed without prior notice. Brick paver installation happens only twice per year at most, to minimize the necessary disruption and resetting of existing pavers.
  • To ensure safety and efficiency the installation will be done exclusively by Arboretum staff without an audience present.
  • To maintain the uniformity, dignity, and cleanliness of the Arboretum, memorials may not be altered in any way. This includes but is not limited to the addition of adornments such as stickers, plaques, trinkets, decorations, or any other items. Unauthorized modifications will be removed.
