Tyler’s core arboretum area is rich in renowned horticultural collections and beautiful native wildflowers, and offers a serene and contemplative experience to visitors. A gift of a dedicated teak bench is a wonderful and appropriate way to remember or honor family and friends within this special environment. A dedicated teak bench, with plaque, is gifted at a minimum of $5,000.  
  

Stewardship Gifts

Gifts of any level 

Would you like to give a unique tribute gift for a birthday, anniversary, wedding, or to honor the memory of a departed loved one? You can make a Stewardship Gift to honor a special person in your life. 
  
Operations Enhancement Fund:  Memorial and tribute gifts that are assigned to Tyler ’s general operating needs. Donors can designate a gift to the following areas of the Operations Enhancement Fund:  horticulture, children’s programs, natural areas, and historic collections. Donors, with Tyler staff input, can designate a gift within a Fund area (examples:  Bluebird Nesting Box Program, Horticulture Resource Library, Education Intern Scholarship).
  
Legacy Collections Fund:  Memorial and tribute gifts that are assigned to Tyler ’s legacy horticultural and historical collections – either capital improvement, program, or maintenance needs. Legacy collections include the Painter Trees, the Dr. John C. Wister Rhododendron Collection, and Historic Buildings Preservation.
  
  
  
Endowment Fund:  Memorial and tribute gifts of any level can be designated to Tyler ’s Endowment Fund. A minimum of $250,000 is required to create a named endowment in support of a Tyler-designated (with donor input) ongoing project or need with a duration greater than 12 months.
