Recognize someone special by making a gift in their honor or memory to the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center. The Arboretum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and tribute gifts are tax-deductible. Your gift supports the continued growth, preservation efforts, and ongoing operations of the Arboretum.
Buttonbush Tribute Boardwalk Plank
Honor or remember a loved one with an engraved plank on our Buttonbush Trail, which winds through one of the Arboretum’s beautiful wetlands. Planks are $2,500 and will accommodate two lines of 42 characters of text each (including spaces and punctuation).
For more information or if you have questions about your plank, please email [email protected].
Commemorative Bench
A tribute bench at the Arboretum is the perfect way to honor or remember a loved one. Each 5 foot teak bench costs $12,000 and includes a plaque with text of your choosing. An Arboretum staff member will work with you to determine the best location for your bench. Your purchase also includes a complimentary one year Individual Membership to the Arboretum.
Please email [email protected] to confirm bench placement and plaque text, or if you have questions about your bench.
