Activities
The "Tree Walk" has been developed for the layman and professional alike. Both "Common" and "Botanical" names have been provided on labels for 35 examples of deciduous and evergreen trees. You can take the "Walk" in any order, by foot or by car, at any time of the year.
Historical Tours are given periodically. They focus on monument symbolism, local history and geology. The tours are co-sponsored by the Greater Ridgewood Historical Society. Click here for more information about Tours and Exhibits or call the Cemetery office for dates and times.

Mount
Olivet Cemetery has thousands of trees, shrubs and flowering plants
that give life, shelter, color and character to its 71 acres throughout
the year.
Plan
to visit at different times of the year to witness the spring colors
of Dogwood, Weeping Cherry, Magnolia, Redbud and Crabapple, the fall
colors of Sweetgum, Maple, and the Katsura tree, and the winter landscape
with many shapes, forms and bark characteristics.
If
you would like us to mail you a copy of the map indicating the location,
common and botanical names, and a brief description of each variety
of tree, please fill out the form requesting further information.
