Tribute Gifts

You can honor, recognize or remember a special person or event by designating a historic bench or recently-planted tree for tribute. Your unique and lasting tribute will remain in the Park for years to come, and will support the mission of Tower Grove Park.

Tribute Tree

Tribute Tree | Designating a tree for tribute is $500. Your gift will be recorded in the Park’s interactive map.

Trees available to be designated for a tribute have been planted in Tower Grove Park within the past three years. Designating an already-planted tree increases the chances for survival, and guarantees you will know the tree’s location and type from the moment you make your donation.

See all of the trees in Tower Grove Park that are currently available to be designated for tribute. (This will take you off the Tower Grove Park website. Once you choose a tree, you will return to the Tower Grove Park website to complete payment.)

Selecting a tree to designate for tribute.

  • On the tree tribute map, click on a tree icon to open a box with more information and a picture of the tree.

  • When you find the tree you want, click on the tree icon and click on “Designate this tree for a tribute!”

  • Finalize the tribute by completing the payment form.

The recipient or donor of the tree designated for tribute will receive a letter of notification and commemorative certificate. In addition to being recorded on the Park’s interactive map, a permanent record will be kept on file that will include the name of the person or persons being honored, the variety of tree, and the tree’s location.

If you have any questions about designating a tree for tribute, please contact Director of Development, Rene DeFiore at rdefiore@towergrovepark.org or 314-771-4484.
