ADOPT A TREE
Honor or commemorate a special person or pet with a tree in their name. At Shelby Farms Park, we are planting One Million Trees. Your gift is symbolic and helps to plant these trees within the Park and also ensures the longevity of our forests by assisting with ongoing care and upkeep. We will send a letter and special certificate to the honoree or their family informing them of your gift.
Benches
A unique way to honor, celebrate, or remember a special person or commemorate a special moment or achievement is by naming a bench at Shelby Farms Park. This exclusive opportunity makes a lasting impact on the Park, while paying tribute to a loved one or providing visible corporate recognition!
These custom benches are available in select areas of the Park including around Hyde Lake, at the Woodland Discovery Playground, and along the Shelby Farms Greenline and Chickasaw Trail.
To learn more about naming a bench at Shelby Farms Park or to schedule a personal tour of available benches, contact Caleb Tinkle, Senior Development Manager at [email protected] or (901) 222-7248.
