Over the past two years, we have worked with the City of Spartanburg to obtain
slabs of century old granite curbing, originally installed along Spartanburg’s
streets in the 1880's, to build “green” benches from this recycled granite for Hatcher Garden.
These natural benches, placed in tranquil and inspirational locations
throughout the Garden, will allow people to honor friends and memorialize
loved ones. The naming opportunities for these unique granite benches
currently begin around $2000, and are dependent upon the size and location of the bench in the Garden. With your bench sponsorship donation, you will become a member of the Harold and Josephine Hatcher Society with various Garden membership and event benefits based on your annual giving level.
Each century-old granite bench is not only an example of the highest form of recycle, it is a beautiful piece of art for all to enjoy and a cherished reminder of our past.
The map below shows the benches available for naming opportunities. Bench names are for identification only and are not permanent. Double click on the small images to see a larger one.
