Rose Hill Cemetery's First Annual Plant Sale
On April 19th, 2025, we hosted our first annual plant sale to raise funds for RHC1840. Various annuals, perennials, and vegetables were sold, in addition to RHC coffee, shirts, stickers, and maps. This first sale was a huge success and there will be many to come. Thank you to the hard work of members Joey, Betsy, and Maria for making it happen, and to Minton Lawn and Garden for sponsoring this event!
The Symbols and Angels Tour Comes to RHC1840
In a unique partnership with fellow nonprofit The Cemetery Angels, Inc., Rose Hill Cemetery hosted the Symbols and Angels Tour on April 19th, 2025 at 10 am and 6 pm. This tour is a free educational series that teaches the community about cemetery symbolism, floriography, and the funerary arts. Rose Hill is the second cemetery to join in this series, which originated in sister cemetery Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, GA. The first pair of tours was a great success in bringing donations and involvement into RHC, and will be monthly offerings for the public starting in May.
