Whatever your faith or spirituality, the Shrine welcomes all people to share in its beautiful,
relaxing and serene environment.
A perfect place to visit while paying tribute to your loved ones.
A list of trees and ornamental bushes are available from our local nursery, as well as prime locations for each planting. They will be installed and preserved by the Shrine’s landscapers. Brick pavers too are available to honor your loved ones (at an additional charge).
Memorial Planting
Begin a wonderful tradition of celebrating your loved ones’ memory by planting a beautiful memorial tree or ornamental bush at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows. By planting here, you may visit our gorgeous, peaceful grounds while honoring your loved ones who have passed. While here, enjoy personal meditation, growth and rejuvenation of your spirit and the spirit of your loved ones.
Traditional Planting
You also have an opportunity to start a family tradition to last many years into the future. You can arrange to have either a beautiful tree or bush planted for your family, including birthdays, anniversaries, weddings or special events. Wrapped in God’s love and grace, come watch it grow as your family grows. You can remember special moments through the years as you enjoy the beauty of our magnificent grounds.
