Memorialize a Loved One

All gifts are tax-deductible.

If you are interested in memorializing a loved one with a memorial bench or tree at the Gateway Garden, please contact BSG at info@blairstreetgardens.org.

 

Memorial Benches

Memorial benches are being offered for the commemoration of loved ones. The benches have been designed by local artists Michael Burns and Kevin Earley. A bench is available with a gift of $8,000.

Example Bench: Honoring Jeff Kuesel

We have installed a dedicated bench at The Gateway Garden in honor of Jeff Kuesel, one of BSG’s co-founders. Due to his tireless dedication over nearly 30 years, BSG continues today. The bench, designed by local artists, is made of white oak and aluminum.
