Bench Program
Commemorative Bench
A commemorative bench in the Vallarta Botanical Garden is a special place. Visitors can sit down, relax and view the magnificence of nature in our Garden.
These family benches are a permanent way to honor your loved ones. You might want to purchase a bench to honor your children or grandchildren or friends. Maybe you would like to place a bench in memory of a loved one.
We have three bench styles available for purchase for $1,500, $5,000 or $7,000 USD (discounted prices for donors), and you may customize the design of the handmade tile finish. Elegant and permanent, these benches offer you an opportunity to help the Garden sustain and improve the beauty of our sacred space, while making a statement about your loved ones.
You can pay for the benches upfront or you can choose a payment plan. Once you have purchased your bench, you will be contacted regarding the design of your bench. Please call or email at +52 322 223 6182 or [email protected]
