Growth
Every memorial here grows. The tree, the garden, and the family that returns to it.
About
We plant memorial trees for Australian families.
A botanical memorial garden on the Mornington Peninsula. Over a thousand trees planted with the ashes of loved ones since 2020.
Our story
Our Mission
We started because cemeteries didn't match the lives they were meant to honour. So we worked with plant scientists to develop a treatment that turns cremated ash into something a tree can safely absorb.
In April 2020 we found a former golf course in Somerville and turned it into the gardens. Watching the first family plant together made it clear the model worked. We're part of Living Legacy, an Australian company rethinking what happens after a loss.
What we stand for
Our Values
Four ideas behind every tree we plant.
Intention
A memorial planned with care, not chosen by default under pressure.
Stewardship
Trees are ours to look after, not the family's to maintain. Forever, at our cost.
Place
A garden that gets better each season. Quiet, easy to wander, and built to be returned to.
How we work
Our Approach
01
Design Your Legacy
Create a Living Legacy that reflects your life, values, and the memories you want to leave behind.
02
Care That Continues
From the moment you choose us, we're here to guide your family with care through every step of the journey.
03
A Place to Return To
More than a memorial, your Legacy Tree becomes a beautiful place where memories continue to grow.
