Memorial and Honorial Tree Opportunities

The memorial and honorial tree program is a unique way to commemorate a loved one with a one-of-a-kind living memorial while supporting our mission and the campus arboretum. Our curators work with sponsors to find just the right tree and to create a custom plaque honoring your loved one. Your gift ensures your tree receives the care and attention it needs to reach its full splendor.

Opportunities for memorial and honorial trees start at $5,000. One hundred percent of the donation supports the Botanic Garden of Smith College. Smaller donations may also be given to the Friends of the Botanic Garden in the name of a person or group.
