Cornell has memorialized Bailey by dedicating [[Bailey Hall (Ithaca, New York)|Bailey Hall]] in his honor, as well as the LH Bailey Hortorium and Herbarium, a named professorship, and the ''[[Baileya (journal)|Baileya]]'' journal. The Herbarium houses many of his palm collections, as well as an assortment of photos, a portrait, and several of his personal items including his desk. Since 1958 the [[American Horticultural Society]] has issued the annual Liberty Hyde Bailey Award.<ref name="ahs">{{cite web|url=http://www.ahs.org/gardening-programs/national-awards/great-american-gardeners/previous-winners|title=Previous Winners: Honoring Horticultural Heroes|access-date=September 21, 2013}}</ref> A residence hall in [[Brody Complex]] at [[Michigan State University]], and an elementary school in [[East Lansing, Michigan]], were also named after him.

About 140 years after his birth, the Liberty Hyde Bailey Scholars Program was created at [[Michigan State University]], the institution of higher learning where Bailey was both educated and began his career.  The Bailey Scholars Program incorporates L.H. Bailey's love of learning and expressive learning styles to provide a space for students to become educated in fields that interest them.

The [[Liberty Hyde Bailey Birthplace]] is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].
