Memorial gardens are
growing in popularity, and we often get requests to help someone
select a plant or design a garden to memorialize a loved one. To
begin, consider a few things:
o Did your loved one have a favorite flower, shrub or
tree?
o Is there a special color that can be highlighted in
the garden through flower color?
o Did your loved one have a favorite hobby? We can
sometimes recommend specific plants that reflect a life’s passion.
For example, if you know someone who loves to cook, then maybe a
Julia Child Rose, Crème Brulee Coreopsis, or Heuchera Chocolate
Ruffles would be appropriate.
 In
addition to plants, there are other ways to honor someone in the
garden — through garden art, like statuary, sculpture, or bird
baths; by placing a bench in a peaceful area where others can enjoy
nature; or by making a donation in someone’s honor to a nonprofit
organization, such as the Missouri Botanical Garden (www.mobot.org),
Grow Native! (www.grownative.org), or the Prairie Garden Trust (www.prairiegardentrust.org).
Talk with one of our horticulturists so that we can help you
personalize your memorial garden.
