Bloom-Struck Tributes Now Extended to June 30th
Celebrate Life with a Living Tribute in The Garden at Newfields.
A Beautiful Legacy
Bloom-struck planters and trees provide a living canvas to express your love and admiration for a beloved family member, someone who has had a profound impact on your life, or someone who deserves special recognition.
Make your special moments truly unforgettable with a Bloom-struck planter or tree—a vibrant, living tribute that celebrates your loved ones and becomes part of The Gardens through the fall. Whether it’s Father’s Day, a milestone birthday, an anniversary, or a heartfelt remembrance, Bloom-struck is a gift that grows in both meaning and beauty, offering comfort and joy as you stroll through The Gardens' beautiful setting.
In appreciation of their service, military families receive a 10% discount.
We profoundly thank everyone who sponsored a planter or tree in the past to enhance the beauty of The Garden.
Bloom-struck 2025
Commemorate your loved one by donating a Bloom-struck planter in their honor and support The Garden at Newfields for the entire growing season. Your dedication will be marked with a customized plaque recognizing you and your honoree, plus an optional personalized message so you can share your feelings in your own words.
The flowers in your planter will grow and change with the seasons, starting with Spring Blooms in March. Then, Newfields horticulturists will replant for the summer and tend to the planters well into fall. Heritage trees will bud and change colors throughout the season.
Why Bloom-struck?
Four months of seasonal beauty: Your planter or tree blooms and evolves from spring through fall, becoming a living landmark admired by thousands.
Expert care: Our horticulture team nurtures each tribute with dedicated attention, ensuring it thrives all season long.
Personalized recognition: Every dedication includes a customized plaque or tribute tag with your name, your honoree’s name, and an optional personal message.
A timeless legacy: Watch flowers bloom and trees bud, symbolizing enduring love and remembrance.
A Gift That Truly Lasts
While bouquets fade within days and gift cards are often forgotten, Bloom-struck planters and trees grow and flourish for months. They offer lasting beauty, reflection, and inspiration, allowing you to enjoy your living tribute in full bloom throughout the season.
It’s hard to express how amazing and wonderful “old love” can be, but the Bloom-struck program makes it easier. Being able to share this love with my husband in such a beautiful place has cemented Newfields in our lives. Newfields has become one of our favorite places to go and we look forward to continuing to be involved for years to come.
