Heartfelt Stories Of Legacy Planters

Wendy - Sunflower Garden

“I could not imagine going to a cemetery with a plaque on the ground to visit my son. Here, I can come with my chair, book, and coffee, and just sit and read. I do it every week.”⁠

Gerald Krezner - Oak Tree

"Mornington Green represents a perfect solution to the conundrum of what to do with my father's (and eventually my mother's) ashes. A beautiful setting which is always pleasant to visit, with a tangible connection to the person or people memorialised."

Liliana Slater - Dog Ashes Into Tree

"Infusing my dog Nina's ashes into my pre-planted tree at Mornington Green was a beautiful experience. It's comforting to know we'll be reunited there one day. I'm grateful they understand pets are family too. Now we have a special place to remember Nina."

Caitlyn Thomson⁠

"Thank you to Mornington Green for making us feel so welcome when we were going through the toughest time of our lives. You all feel like family to us! We now have a beautiful tree when visiting our son that we can watch grow in the years to come - it’s our happy place."

Alan Kent - Japanese Maple

"The whole concept is amazing! We even helped plant our tree. It was a fantastic experience for my kids and even my grandkids! I would highly recommend."

Katherine - Gingko

"It’s nothing at all like that of visiting a cemetery. There is so much joy in watching not only our trees grow, but the entire grounds evolve. We bring a picnic rug, play games on the grounds, feed the ducks and have a coffee."

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is Mornington Green a cemetery?

We’re not a traditional cemetery. We’re a memorial Living Legacy Garden where ashes become living trees, offering a natural alternative to traditional burial sites. There are no graves or headstones at our gardens just flowers and trees. We are located in the Mornington Peninsula. We offer a unique botanical garden concept.

Do you handle cremations?

We don’t do cremations ourselves, only the government cemetery trusts can provide that service in Victoria, but we can suggest trusted crematoriums in Melbourne. Our service starts once you have the ashes.

How does tree planting with ashes work?

We treat the ashes with our special formula, then mix them into the soil where we plant your chosen tree. This creates a living memorial that grows over time.

I already have ashes at home. Can you help?

Absolutely. We can guide you through the process of treating those ashes to create a Living Legacy Tree.

Can we add ashes to a tree over time?

Yes, you can add ashes to your family tree. This allows your family to grow along with your tree.
