Few natural resources bring joy and life to a green space like the trees which create a canopy of shade in our historic landscape. From those that flower in the spring to those whose leaves fall to our feet in the autumn, each tree on our property is a gift we preserve for generations to come.
Did you know it takes years of care and watering to ensure a young tree transplanted to the cemetery can take root and thrive? We partner with other nonprofit organizations like Casey Trees and work with hundreds of volunteers annually to help ensure the health of all trees on our property.
Your tree sponsorship not only honors your loved one but provides the opportunity for others to experience our urban oasis by ensuring each tree gets the love and care it needs to thrive. Your sponsorship also greatly aids the cemetery as it works to become a certified arboretum, which opens further avenues of funding for the site.
If you are interested in learning about what trees are available for sponsorship, please email staff@congressionalcemetery.org for an updated list. Pricing ranges from $300-$1,000 depending on size, location, and age of the tree. Tree plaques include the scientific name of the tree and two lines for personalization.
