Bench Program
Established in 2011 to nurture and endow the care of Middleton Place's existing benches and their surrounding landscapes, today the Bench Program offers donors and guests alike a place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the gardens while also creating a unique and meaningful tribute. The Foundation installs a plaque engraved with a personalized inscription on each gifted bench. Various price points and locations are available throughout the gardens of Middleton Place.
