Be A Part of Something Beautiful
WAYS TO DONATE
The Botanical Gardens of Silver Springs has an impressive catalogue of tree species specially selected by our Tree & Shrub Team for our Tree Sponsorship Program. The trees offered in this program have been established and monitored for at least 3 years and have proven to withstand our climate.
The sponsorship trees are located throughout the Botanical Gardens. We will help you choose a tree to sponsor by arranging a walk-about through the area of the park in which you are interested.
Your donation of $750.00 will secure a tree for the natural life of the tree. If, within 5 years of sponsorship, the tree dies, you will be offered a replacement. Tax receipts are issued for your donation.
A dedication plaque with your personal message of up to 200 characters and the common and botanical name of the tree is included.
