memorial grove

Tribute planting area

A memorial grove is a designated area of trees planted or preserved in honor of deceased individuals or to commemorate significant events.

These groves serve as living tributes, offering a natural space for reflection and remembrance: The university dedicated a memorial grove to alumni lost in the war.

Unlike individual memorial trees, a grove suggests a collective commemoration—multiple trees forming a unified space of remembrance.
