When local artists came to paint at Evergreen Cemetery for The Art of Death plein air event, the Cultural Affairs team was inspired to pick up brushes, too. Every day, we care for these grounds. Painting them gave us a new way to see them.

This week, local artists have set up their easels among the headstones and old trees of Evergreen Cemetery for The Art of Death plein air event. Inspired by the peaceful surroundings, the rich history, and the beauty of nature, they're capturing it all, one brushstroke at a time.

Stop by, take a quiet stroll, and watch art come to life. Please be respectful of the artists and the grounds as you visit.

🌱 What a day! After our plant give-away, a group of energetic volunteers stuck around for a tree planting demo then helped plant new trees at Evergreen Cemetery & Arboretum.

Thank you to everyone who came out, learned something new, and got their hands dirty. These trees will grow for generations, and it's all thanks to you. 💚

Thank you Gainesville!
Today, more than 300 neighbors joined us at Evergreen Cemetery & Arboretum for a plant give-away, hosted by the City of Gainesville and UF, Florida Museum of Natural History. Every guest went home with a free plant. Urban Forestry and UF staff were on hand to share their best planting tips.

None of this would have been possible without our incredible volunteers. You gave your time, energy, and smiles, and you made the day a success. We're so grateful! 💚

Thank you to our partners at the City of Gainesville and UF for helping grow our community, one plant at a time.
