    Few sites have more appreciation for its “earth,” and all of the stories and secrets that lie beneath it than Laurel Hill. The resting place claims status as the first garden cemetery in the United States, boasting 78 acres of green space in the middle of the city. Start off your morning at Laurel Hill, taking in its gorgeous river vistas, and learning of its history as a world-renowned arboretum. Participants will also aim to identify the many bird species, trees and horticultural specimens that still populate the site. Share your knowledge or just enjoy nature’s Autumn all around you. Bring binoculars if you wish. This program will be co-presented by Laurel Hill Cemetery guides, Bob Berghaier and Steve Maurer. It will commence with complimentary coffee, juice and pastries.
