Bring a lawn chair, enjoy the cemetery’s beauty, and learn something new about gardening!
Local and regional experts present information and answer questions about different aspects of gardening. The Downtown Dames provide light refreshments and door prizes.
Presentations start at 9 a.m. and last about an hour. They happen at the bell house in the center of the cemetery.
Master Gardeners earn education points for attendance.
Please enter the cemetery through the pedestrian gate on 13th Street. On-street parking is available on 13th, Arch, and Gaines Streets.
