What kind of tree was used for a lynching in the cemetery in 1920? What Victorian bush near the first burial site has a most delicious fragrance? What antique rose was named after a beloved Duchess and planted at the grave of a beloved doctor? These are some of the stories we’ll hear as we discover what was planted and why. We’ll learn how the landscape of the cemetery has dramatically changed. Cemeteries are full of stories. Those buried there have their story. But plants have stories to tell as well. Tours depart every 20 minutes from 10-11am. Meet at the Franklin Gate. Admission is FREE; donations appreciated. Note: uneven surfaces and slopes.
