Details
A bench placed in our commemorative path becomes a tangible part of the Jacksonville Arboretum & Garden’s journey into the future.
Details include:
- A volunteer installer will have the bench in place four-to-six weeks after the order is made.
- JABG has determined the life of the tribute bench to be ten years and will maintain the bench as necessary over that time period.
- Your bench donation is 100 percent tax deductible.
- Acknowledgment letters will be sent to the donor and the honoree or their family.
Honorees are recognized by name with a custom 2-by-8-inch brass plate embedded on the bench. Each Tribute Bench plaque has a standard of three lines, up to 25 characters per line, which includes spaces.
Two styles of benches are being installed:
- Each slab style bench is $2000.
