Bloom-struck

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. With Bloom-struck, your special memories are alive and vibrant in a beautiful, peaceful, and inspiring setting. 

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.
