plant a brick

Honor a loved one with a name or distinctive message on a brick in the Romantic Gardens. Bricks are donated for all occasions that fill our lives:

Birthdays, graduations, anniversaries
Weddings, unique accomplishments and retirements
Honorariums, memorials and final tributes

Your expression will be engraved on a red brick paver for a gift of $200 or an elegant bronze brick for a gift of $1,000.

Your gift will leave a lasting impression that will add beautiful dimension to our Gardens and help our educational, outreach, research and horticultural programs.

Denver Botanic Gardens will be pleased to acknowledge your gift to the honoree or to the family of the person being remembered.

For more information on bricks or other exciting giving opportunities available at the Gardens, please call 720-865-3528.
