We recognise that the loss of a loved one is a difficult time, however, the Botanic Garden is not a memorial garden, and spreading of ashes in not allowed as it can harm the plants and change the pH balance in the soil.

Families may wish to remember their loved one with a dedication bench or picnic table at the Garden as part of our dedication program.

Wollongong Memorial Garden provides an ideal location to scatter ashes and place a plaque as a lasting tribute to our loved one. Visit the Memorial Garden’s Create a Memorial webpage or call them on (02) 4227 7780 for more information
