£50

to sponsor a square metre of the garden

We’ll be in touch later in the year, as works progress, to ask you to choose the spot you want to sponsor. Once you’ve chosen you'll receive a special certificate with your name and message.

£250

to engrave a name on the jetty railings

Have your name, or that of a loved one, engraved on brass strips set into the jetty railings in the wildlife garden. The jetty will jut out over the gorgeous pond, which will be a beautiful spot to see wildlife and admire the Waterhouse building.

£500

to engrave a name with a symbol of nature

Have your chosen name engraved next to a wildlife illustration on the brass railings that will run around the lookout platform. You can choose from lots of different species, from a peregrine falcon to a fox.

£1,000

to support a tree species

Support one of the tree species in our new gardens, with the option of receiving a matching limited edition print, recreated from postcards that we originally sold in the 1920s and 1930s.

£5,000

to engrave a name on a long bench

Have your name, or that of a loved one, engraved on a brass plaque alongside others on one of our long timber benches. Each bench offers views across the wildlife garden, through the prehistoric planting of our evolution gardens, or over tranquil meadows towards the Waterhouse building.
