Looking for a last minute Mother’s Day gift? Why not give a gift that your mother will enjoy and you will also help support the Conservancy, a not-for profit organization that manages the Park year after year. Here are some ideas:
- For the Gardener: The annual blossoming of Central Park’s beautiful daffodils and tulips mark the arrival of spring in New York. Express the never-ending love you have for your mom by planting flowers in Central Park that will continue to bloom every year. With a minimum donation of $50, the Conservancy will place either plant in one of the Park’s flower beds so your mom (and millions of annual park visitors) can stroll through the Park each spring and be reminded of the special gift you gave her. Your mother will also receive an e-card with your own personalized note, letting her know that the flowers were donated and planted in her name. $50.00 minimum donation
- For the Sentimentalist: Give your mother the gift of tranquility by dedication a Central Park bench in her honor. Your mother will be able to enjoy the bench as a special haven where she can be alone with her thoughts, or enjoy her favorite book while being surrounded by the beauty and peacefulness of the Park. Most benches can be adopted for $7,500; contributions of $25,000 are recognized with a plaque on a handmade rustic bench in the perfect spot chosen by you. This meaningful and charitable gift is the perfect present for your mother who loves to give back. $7,5000.00
- For the Nature Lover: This Mother’s Day, select your mom’s favorite spot in Central Park to endow and dedicate a tree. A beautiful granite paving stone with your inscription will be placed in her honor on Literary Walk, mid-park at 66th street. You and your mother can enjoy this exclusive and extremely charitable gift together each time you visit and enjoy all the nature that surrounds you in Central Park. $500 Sapling; $5,000.00 Mature tree
