At Mornington Green, we’re often asked what makes our memorial tree planting service special. It’s a fair question, and one we’re always excited to answer. We’ve poured our hearts into creating a unique way to honor your loved ones, and we’d like to share why we think it’s the best option out there.
A New Approach to Remembrance
Traditional memorials have their place, but we wanted to offer something different. Something alive, growing, and beneficial to our planet. That’s where our memorial trees come in.
Each tree we plant is more than just a memorial – it’s a living, breathing tribute that contributes to a greener future. It’s a place where families can gather, reflect, and watch their loved one’s legacy grow year after year. We think that’s pretty special. Learn how our tree planting works here
Our Mornington Peninsula Home
We’re lucky to call Somerville on the Mornington Peninsula home. Just a 50-minute drive from Melbourne, our Legacy Gardens are set on a former golf course that we’ve lovingly transformed into a beautiful botanical garden.
We chose this location carefully. It’s easily accessible for city dwellers looking for a peaceful day trip, yet feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s the perfect setting for quiet reflection and remembrance.
Our Unique Process
We’ve worked hard to make our memorial tree planting process as meaningful and straightforward as possible:
- You choose a tree from our wide selection of species, from cherry blossom to crepe myrtle. Explore tree options here
- We plant it in a location of your choosing within our gardens.
- You and your family get to visit and watch it grow over the years.
It’s simple, but profoundly moving. Many of our clients tell us that participating in this process has been an incredibly healing experience.
The Science Behind Our Service
We’re pretty proud of the innovation behind our service. We use a patented Living Legacy Ashes Treatment that transforms ashes into beneficial nutrients for the trees. With this formula, we’re able to return your loved one to the earth in a way that nurtures new life.
And for every memorial tree planted, we commit to planting 200 more trees to offset your carbon footprint. It’s our way of ensuring that each life we memorialize makes a significant positive impact on the environment.
