A life well-lived isn't measured in years – it's measured in moments. At Green Lawn Cemetery we celebrate a life well lived and share the human stories that continue to inspire long after a person has passed.

They came to the cemetery and these birders had a good time on Saturday! This is what a cemetery can be when we stop treating it like a place of obligation and start treating it like a place of belonging. Green Lawn hosts walking tours, birding events, cultural festivals, educational workshops, and soon a movie premiere! The guests who come start asking questions, connecting with the place and history. And when the time comes to make their own decisions about planning for themselves they don't dread it. They already have a relationship with this very special park.

A special THANKS to the "volunteers" who attended our Grave Marker Cleaning Workshop this morning. The participants learned how to clean historic grave markers safely & effectively...and raised $640 for The Kelton House Museum & Garden, which sustained a significant fire last fall. We cleaned the Kelton Family lot and Governor Dennison's family lot.

Our 4 acre prairie showcases some things that standout and can be appreciated even from the road, but today I’ll share some really small things that you have to get up close to appreciate. The first are the profuse but tiny flowers of side oats grams, a 2-3’ tall native grass. The second is a little butterfly, the silver spotted skipper. In this case the skipper is enjoying one of the showier flowers, a type of Monarda (also known as beebalm), this one a common Ohio native called wild bergamot.
