Tributes & Memorials

A beautiful way to honor loved ones in both times of loss and celebration

Reach out to us at info@clnaturecenter.org or 805-593-0691 to arrange.

Throughout the Native Garden fountains, benches, and trees are available to bear the names of those that families and friends would like to hold in memory or tribute.

We appreciate the generosity of our memorial and tribute donors and those that they honor.
