MEMORIAL TREE PROGRAM


A Memorial Tree is a great way for businesses, the public, or agencies to commemorate a loved one, employee, or a special event.

By enrolling in this program, your gift will be used to purchase a tree to be planted on the Capitol Complex. Trees will be cared for by our professional landscaping team.

HOW IT WORKS

  • Choose a desired tree species from list provided.
  • Choose wording on plaque. Plaque size is 3"x 5", mounted on concrete.
  • Trees can be purchased any time; however, planting will only take place in the spring or fall.
  • Deciduous trees are approximately 2”-3" in diameter. Conifers are 6’ tall.
  • $650 per tree includes: tree, plaque, installation, and continued care by the landscaping team. Larger trees may be purchased for an additional cost.
