The Memorial Grove is a two-acre feature of the Naturalization Gallery. It offers the opportunity to purchase a designated memorial tree, as a living tribute, to loved ones and meaningful life events. The purchase includes a commemorative plaque with QR-code. When the code is scanned with a smartphone, online memories about the person can be accessed. The space is complete with a garden and benches to reflect and enjoy.
The patio in the Memorial Grove was created in 2017 and is the central point of the grove. In addition to the memorial trees in the grove, the patio holds benches that have placed there for users and have mounted on them memorial plaques for loved ones.
The cost is $200.00 per tree and persons purchasing a Memorial Tree will have the opportunity to write a 2-page biography (maximum) about the person being memorialized. A QR code will be attached to each memorial plaque next to the tree, allowing people to scan it and read the biography of the person, including names and dates of that persons life. Persons wishing to see samples of this plaque can view them in the Circle of Peace.
