The City of Reno has established the Memorial Tree and Rose Garden Plaque Program to pay special tribute to loved ones, outstanding citizens and organizations alike. The initiative contributes to Reno’s urban forestry and provides shade as well as seating for citizens to enjoy public spaces throughout the City. Memorial plaques also serve to enhance our parks through beautification, encouraging mindfulness and the recognition of community members who have made significant differences in the area.
