Commemorative Tree Program

The Commemorative Tree Program provides a lasting way to recognize a person, day or particular event. (Examples include but not limited to: births, graduations, retirements, weddings, anniversaries, or death of a loved one.)

The cost of $375 includes dedication at annual Arbor Day Celebration, planting, certificate, plaque placed by the tree*, and care for the life of the tree.

Order forms (on the right) must be received by Twinsburg Parks and Recreation by March 1st for the tree to be planted in the Arbor Day celebration. Orders received after that date would be held for the next’s years planting. Arbor Day takes place in late April/early May annually.

All Commemorative Trees will be planted at Liberty Park, 9385 Liberty Road, Twinsburg, Ohio.
The gardener for the City of Twinsburg will determine where in Liberty Park all trees will be planted.
The plaque to be placed by the tree will include the species of the tree, the event to being commemorated, and who the tree was donated by.
