A donation to the Garden is a beautiful way to honor a legacy or commemorate a special occasion. An anniversary, wedding, graduation, birthday, holiday or other event may be celebrated with a gift in the name of the honoree.

The Garden may also be designated to receive memorial gifts or donations in memory of a special person. 

Upon request, a letter will be sent to the honoree letting them know a gift was made in their honor.

Honor someone special in your life by inscribing a tribute on an engraved brick along one of the Garden's pathways. For a donation of $1250, you have the option to inscribe a name or message on a brick and you will help fund the installation of accessible and environmentally friendly pathways at CalBG.
