Special Dedication Opportunities

A variety of special dedication opportunities are available at locations throughout the Arboretum and Public Garden. These dedications are marked by a customized inscription plate or tile mounted on a special feature within the gardens. Dedications represent a truly unique way to honor or remember a loved one while supporting the mission of the Arboretum and Public Garden.

Interested in one of our dedication opportunities?

Start the dedication process by contacting Christen Brunner, assistant director of development, at [email protected] or 530-304-5948.

Due to the highly customized nature of these special dedications, the timeline for installation can take several months or more.  If you are considering making a dedication as a gift or surprise, we can provide a certificate for you to present to your honoree.

All special dedication opportunities are subject to change and availability; custom inscriptions have length parameters that vary based on the type of dedication. Dedications are tax-deductible and eligible for a matching gift from your employer.

Thank you for considering a special dedication in the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden.

Be part of the UC Davis landscape legacy - dedicate today!
