One of Sherman Gardens' Teak Rocking Chairs.

You are invited to consider sponsoring a bench or a rocking chair in commemoration of an occasion or to memorialize a friend or loved-one. In doing so, you will be enriching the enjoyment of visitors to Sherman Library & Gardens. Benches allow guests to rest and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the Gardens.

Memorial benches and rocking chairs provide a place of rest and contemplation for thousands of visitors. Each bench and chair is American-made from sustainably-harvested teak. Your gift not only provides an additional seat for visitors, but also supports the care and maintenance of the Gardens, plant collections, historical artifacts and art. Along with a 100% tax-deductible contribution receipt from Sherman Library & Gardens, donors will receive:

  • A copper bench/chair plaque identifying the name of the person(s) honored
  • Bench recognition and maintenance for a period of ten years and rocking chair recognition and maintenance for a period of five years effectively beginning on the day of memorialization, including bench/chair replacement if deemed necessary. Sherman Library & Gardens will review the bench/chair  condition after the ten or five year term and will contact the donor to discuss options for renewing the bench/chair gift.
  • Recognition on Distinguished Patron Honor Wall in perpetuity, as long as the wall is in existence.
