Description

Our trees have stories to tell. Elmwood is home to almost 1,400 trees! Many of these trees are tagged, but there's so much more to know about a tree than its scientific and common name. Some of the trees that live in Elmwood are older than the cemetery itself - those are the trees we call witness trees. They lived through the changes taking place around them, silently, majestically, for sometimes 300+ years. We will show you a few of these and much more on this special tree tour. Join us for this tree tour of the cemetery grounds. Cost for the tour is $20 per person. The tour will begin at 12:00 pm, lasts about 90 minutes, and comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Rain will cancel this event. Call 901-774-3212 for rain information. Elmwood is a historic cemetery with available lots that provides a beautiful final resting place to families as it shares its history, art and nature with the community.
