Arbor Day Celebration at Hillside Cemetery
Hillside Cemetery will celebrate Arbor Day on Friday, April 25th with the planting of 12 flowering cherry trees and 6 fragrant lilac bushes. These beautiful additions were generously donated by an anonymous supporter who wishes to further the mission that earned Hillside its designation as an arboretum. The new plantings will enhance the cemetery’s natural beauty, offering seasonal color, scent, and shade for generations to come. More than just a tribute to Arbor Day—a holiday devoted to the planting, preservation, and appreciation of trees—this gesture reflects a lasting investment in the peaceful, living landscape of Hillside Cemetery.
