🍁 Fall color is HERE! 🍁

The Garden’s canopy is made up of 5,500+ trees, representing 1,100+ species. Fall colors range from bright golden yellow to muted copper to deep scarlet.

The Garden's experts highly recommend visiting this weekend to see fall foliage at its peak!

In our partnership with BeeKC we are having our first honey harvest on Sunday September 7th 10am-12pm! BeeKC will be joining us to show how honey is harvested directly from hives here in the cemetery. This is a free family event! Jars will be available for purchase to take honey home that day.

It’s a coffin! A fine way to grab a death historian’s interest. This coffin pendant is a quite a bit smaller and its pop-out inhabitant is not faithful or a traitor but a memento mori skeleton. #thetraitors

Carved from wood, this 16th-century figure shows a corpse inside a coffin. The body is decaying and worms are spilling from the stomach. The coffin is a memento mori, an object that reminds the viewer of the shortness of human life & the inevitability of death.

Earlier this year I took the first picture of this mausoleum. Recently I took the second picture. I remember reading about the bronze doors being stolen, soon after my first visit. Elmwood Cemetery in Kansas City, Missouri

Tomorrow is the day! We have a few tickets remaining and @thecleverbatlfk is ready to show us how to make our very own cemetery keepsakes using UV resin and fresh pressed flowers from our pollinator gardens. 🌷🌻
