In response to public requests the Fredericton Botanic Garden is offering memorials in order that loved ones or very special events may be remembered. There are two types of memorial being offered, memorial benches with a bronze plaque inscribed as requested by the donor(s) and a memorial grove of magnolias with a large polished boulder at the entrance. The names of those to be memorialized will be engraved into the face of the boulder.

These benches are located in the new Entrance Garden. The inscription is placed on a bronze plaque attached to the back of the bench. The plaque size is 2" X 10" and may contain up tp 4 lines of text.. A proof of the plaque is provided for the donor(s) approval prior to being cast. The benches are permanently mounted on a concrete base to prevent theft. These memorial benches are available for a donation of $4,000.00 to the Fredericton Botanic Garden Association. As the Botanic Garden is registered as a charitable organization by the Government of Canada all donations are tax deductible.

The memorial grove consisting of Magnolias and Japanese Maples will be located just to the south of the future rose garden. It will accessible from the main road through the Garden. This small garden, will be a place of peace and tranquility surrounded by the mature forest.

At its entrance will be a large split boulder with a polished face. Engraved on this face will be "In Memory Of" followed by the names of those persons being memorialized. This memorial will be available for a donation to the Botanic Garden of $500.00. This memorial grove will be completed in late spring of 2008.
