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 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.
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.
Trees that may be selected as memorials include a bur oak (Quercus macrocarpa), a musclewood (Carpinus caroliniana), a swamp white oak (Quercus bicolor), a Kentucky coffeetree (Gymnocladus dioicus), and a serviceberry (Amelanchier sp.). A memorial tree is available with a gift of $1,000.
