Individual Naming Opportunities are available on Garden Pavers in the Humboldt Botanical Garden. You may remember a loved one, honor an individual or organization, or forever associate your name or business with the Garden.

Each paver may have up to six lines with a maximum of 15 characters per line. Spaces, punctuation and numbers count as characters. Spacing between words also counts as a character. Pavers with one or two lines are $100 per paver. Additional lines are $10 per line. Names or inscriptions will be centered on the paver.



Every person who gives a minimum of $100 for the Garden or buys a Garden Paver will receive a beautiful cloisonne pin designed by HBGF member artist Rosemarie Welsh featuring the Iris douglasiana. The Iris douglasiana was chosen to represent the Garden's public funding campaign because it is native to the Garden site and is one of our most endearing native plants.
