Benches and Bricks

The arboretum’s  six benches invite you to pause on your garden journey to enjoy intimate garden and scenic views. Backs of several benches contain commemorative plaques. Areas in front of five benches are paved with commemorative bricks.

To locate a particular brick, use the search function on the top of the table below or browse the table to find the engraving you are looking for. Click the bench name to see a layout of the particular area and browse or search by row.  Layout is oriented as one would see bricks facing the bench. Please note that some bricks on the shelter steps are being replaced, indicated with an asterisk.  A picture of each bench area is included.
