Garden Memorials: A Great Way to Honor or Commemorate

Rotary Botanical Gardens (RBG) in Janesville, WI offers several opportunities to honor, commemorate, celebrate or remember a loved one or special event. RBG garden memorials are the perfect way to keep a historical timeline and to create a lasting legacy – a legacy to be visited and enjoyed within the splendid botanical landscape.

Garden memorials are also an ideal way to support Rotary Botanical Gardens. Since opening in 1988, RBG has grown as a horticultural and educational resource to South Central Wisconsin and beyond—built with a great deal of community purpose and pride. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, RBG receives no tax dollar support. Support of RBG ensures we maintain and grow this beautiful horticultural facility, while providing valuable educational programs and recreational events to the community.

In addition to the memorial options shown below, naming opportunities for major gardens, events and special projects are also available.
