~ 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?
~ How did all the towering oaks come to be in the cemetery?
Cemeteries are full of stories. Those buried there have their story but, plants have stories to tell as well.
THIS YEAR—in addition to the Tour, we will have Garden and Plant Experts available to answer your questions:
~ Native Plant Society – “Growing Native Plants”
~ Master Gardener Program – “Bugs: Crush or Gush?”
~ Rural Cemetery Rose Specialists – “Growing Heirloom Roses”
~ Rural Cemetery Wildlife Habitat Specialists – “Drawing Birds, Butterflies and other Creatures to your Garden"
