Tribute Gifts

Pansy is the English way of saying “pensée,” the French word for “thought.” At one time, people sent pansies to their loved ones to let them know they were thinking of them.

Is there someone with whom you have shared a moment in time or a lifetime of moments? A tribute gift is for anyone who lives in our hearts.

You can let someone know your thoughts with a gift to the Chicago Botanic Garden in his or her name. Celebrate a special occasion like a birthday, anniversary or holiday, say thank you or share a memory. There are many ways to celebrate someone special.
