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
Most families come to us before a loss. We walk the gardens with you, talk through options, and help shape what is left behind. Our Legacy Planners do not rush this part.
02
Care That Continues
When a loss has already happened, we handle the parts that feel impossible. Ash treatment, tree planting, ceremony, plaque. One team, one place, no chasing.
03
A Place to Return To
As the tree grows, so do the memories made around it. Families return for picnics, open days, planting events, and quiet visits. Their tree is theirs. The garden is for everyone.
Our Team
