Personalized Pavers

Take a Step in the Landscapes of Canada Gardens

As the holidays approach, our thoughts turn to our loved ones and that special gift that will make them smile long after the season has passed. You likely have at least one person on your list who is impossible to shop for, but deserves the world. This year, think outside the box and give a gift that will last.

Invest in the life and future of the Canadian Museum of Nature and support the award-winning Landscapes of Canada Gardens.

Your gift will be recognized with a personalized inscription on a Step-across-Canada paver. A unique, meaningful way to support nature education and research and demonstrate your love of nature. Make our garden your garden.

The minimum donation is $550.

Make your gift no later than December 17, and your personalized inscription will be mailed to your loved one on a beautiful holiday card.
