Where Your Gifts Will Be Placed
In 1922,
Leila Y. Post Montgomery donated the 72 acre Leila Arboretum to the
City of Battle Creek, MI. More than a half a century later the Leila
Arboretum Society was formed to restore the historic 72 acre Leila
Arboretum. Over the years the Society's focus and energy has
stretched out beyond the Arboretum's gates into the community of
Battle Creek. Your donations will not only benefit the Leila
Arboretum itself, but also help to beautify the Battle Creek
community

the Leila Arboretum.
A Commemorative Brick is an
excellent way to recognize:

a permanent acknowledgement of your support for children, the
Children’s Garden and all that Leila Arboretum Society does for this
community!
Tree: $300 and up By donating a tree you are not only
helping to beautify the Arboretum and surrounding areas, but are
also planting a living tribute to a loved one that will grow on for
many generations to enjoy. Each tree will be marked with a tag
recognizing the individual for whom the tree is
dedicated.
Teakwood Bench: $3000Our benches are located throughout the
arboretum in such places as the Peace Labyrinth, the Miss Iva Doty
Native Flower Garden, and our new Children's Garden. Each bench
allows visitors a place to sit and reflect, while taking in the
beautiful scenery of the Leila Arboretum. A permanent engraved brass
name plaque will be affixed to the bench with the name of the
individual being honored.
