Sponsorship Opportunities Flower
If you are the type who likes to donate
toward specific items, the Eastmoreland Garden offers several design elements
for sponsorship. (Remember, donations can be monetary or take the form of needed
in-kind services or labor.)

human and pet drinking fountain for the garden.

sponsor one of the two corner seat walls at the “Eastmoreland” entry signs or
refurbish the historical light pillars from the Bybee Blvd. overpass.
- An Azalea level donor of $1,000 to $2,499 can sponsor
the layout of early 20th-century Eastmoreland Line trolley track within the
brick design or a plaque sandblasted with historical text and graphics.
- A Trillium level donor of $500 to $1,000 can sponsor
one of ten new trees to be planted in the garden. Educational tree and plant
labels can also be sponsored at this level.
- Cash donors of $135 to $499 will be recognized on an engraved
brick. Donors of $500 and more will be recognized on an inlaid plaque.
Sponsors may be recognized with an engraved 8x12-inch plaque detailing their
contribution and installed on the ground in front of the sponsored feature.
- Donations of ANY amount are always welcome and appreciated.
All funds go toward making the garden a reality and are tax deductible.
How will contributors be recognized?
In-kind contributors will be listed on donor plaques inlaid in the brick
paving. Donor plaques are established for the Rose, Rhododendron, Azalea and
Trillium donor levels. Cash donors of $135-$499 may be recognized on an engraved
brick and donors of $500 or more on an inlaid plaque.
Sponsors may be recognized with an engraved 8x12-inch plaque recognizing
their contribution and placed on the ground in front of the sponsored feature.
The plaques will be set in concrete and be similar to those placed elsewhere in
the Garden to recognize other large contributors. All recognition plaques and
wording must be consistent with PP&R policy.
