Through the
Living Memorial Program offered by the Bourbonnais Township Park
District, trees can be purchased and planted, or adopted, to celebrate
and commemorate people, organizations or special events such as
birthdays or anniversaries.
Purchasers
of Living Memorials may choose from an assortment of trees to
be planted on the Perry Farm Park. Memorial trees, once planted,
will be a living remembrance that will also benefit the community
for many years to come.
The Living Memorial
Program is not only a great way to remember those who have passed away
or to celebrate birth, but a great way to beautify the park and help the
environment. A commemorative plaque will be installed for display at the
base of your tree at the time of planting.
How the
Program Works:
1. Come and
meet with the Groundskeeper of the Bourbonnais Township Park District
to view the site and discuss the variety of trees available for
planting.
2. Complete
and return the Living Memorial Form
to the BTPD Administrative off at the Perry Farm House.
3. A minimum
donation is required for the purchase an ornamental or shade tree
1 1/2" diameter.:
4. If you
wish to be present for the planning of the tree, please mark the
Living Memorial Form and we will
contact you accordingly.
5. Trees can
be purchased anytime throughout the year. However, planting will
only take place in the Spring and the Fall of each year. All plantings
a subject to weather conditions.
All
trees are guaranteed by the Bourbonnais Township park District
for a period of five (5) years. If your tree does not survive
during the first five years of its growth period, a new tree of
the same size and variety will be planted by the Park District.
