Twice a year we have a memorial planting day where family and friends can join our staff and volunteers in restoring the cemetery grounds by planting living memorials at loved one’s gravesites. For this event, we will provide a variety of native species appropriate for the meadow ecosystem. Those who have registered for our meadow planting days (sign up here) will receive an email to reserve plants by mid September.*If you are unable to make it on this scheduled day, our staff is happy to plant on your behalf. Our Native Plant Program is a donation based program. If you would like to make a donation there is a suggested contribution of $35 per plant.
