It costs a lot of money to do good work in our Garden. But you can help and we can help you. All items are tax deductible at approximately 75 percent.

There are more than a dozen ways you can commemorate the inspirational work of Philip Simmons and Eastside leaders, such as the late T.C. Drayton, by making your tax-deductible contribution today. Among the ways you can help:

Buy a brick. For just $100, you can purchase one of 3,500 inscribed memorial bricks that will line the pathways of the Josiah Smith Tennent House. Imagine how your children will feel in 25 years when they return to find their names on a brick, honoring a parent, grandparent or special friend or in memory of a loved one.

Brass inscribed plaques. Some 150 brass inscribed plaques will line the T.C. Drayton Wall to honor a great Eastside community leader. You can get yours for just $250.

Limited edition prints. You can get a limited edition Philip Simmons print, "Master Blacksmith," for just $250.

Inscribed stones. Garden patrons can purchase one of 100 8"x16" inscribed cast brown stones for $250 each and 50 16"x16" stones for $2,000 each. They'll line the center aisle of the garden and the Philip Simmons lecture garden.

Inscribed blocks. Patrons can help the Garden by purchasing a 16-inch square blue stone inscribed block ($2,000) that will be in the Garden's corner sitting areas. Or patrons can purchase one of nine large (16" x 16") blue stones in the center of the garden approaching the Josiah Smith Tennent House ($3,000).

Trees. You may want to consider purchasing a memorial crape myrtle tree ($600 each) or one of two live oaks ($2,500 each).
