This schedule should be used as a guide only, since nature seldom co-operates with man-made schedules. A late spring can delay blooming by as much as two weeks. We encourage you to visit and stroll through the cemetery and enjoy the beautiful flowers, shrubs and trees. If you have any questions about any of the plantings in the cemetery, please drop by the office. We’ll be happy to help in any way we can.
