Estate Gifts
Some donors may wish to make a substantial contribution to the Garden through an estate gift. Garden staff will work with you to arrange a bequest, charitable trust, or other appropriate gift that meets a need at the Garden, while offering you the opportunity to honor a loved one. Endowments may be named in tribute to a special person.
