Columbia Gardens loved being part of the Bunny Hop route again this year! 🐰 The turnout on Saturday was fantastic—participants of all ages joined in, from little ones in strollers to plenty sporting bunny ears. Best of all, the event helped support worthy Arlington charities.

Progress Update 🌿
When 13 pallets of sod were delivered at 5:00 am, our team was ready to get to work. 11 pallets were used for springtime prepping and sodding of new graves and 2 pallets were installed around our new columbaria. Fresh sod requires daily care in the first week, followed by a strict watering schedule to keep it thriving in the coming weeks.

Our new pair of columbaria are a wonderful addition to the grounds, and we can’t wait to share the finished look with you.

Stay tuned for the final reveal—coming soon!

Two Canada geese made a recent layover at Columbia Gardens Cemetery on their journey north. 🪶 A few fun facts about this large migratory waterfowl:
• Weight: 6–19 pounds
• Length: 2.5–4 feet
• Lifespan: 10–24 years
• Most mate for life
• Flight speeds of 40–50 mph
• Can travel 2,000–3,000 miles during migration
We’re always glad when wildlife stops by for a visit on their seasonal travels. 🌿

A big thank you to the Ashton Heights Civic Association (AHCA) for their Tree Canopy Campaign! In December, volunteers planted three trees at Columbia Gardens, part of 92 young canopy trees that were installed throughout the neighborhood. Trees come with a post and sign identifying their species. They are 2-5 feet tall and will start growing right away. AHCA received a state grant to fund a total of 120 trees and will be planting 38 more trees in March. Would you like a young tree in your yard? Contact brooke.alexander52@gmail.com for a consultation.

Pictured at Columbia Gardens are (L-R): Ron Rosenberg, AHCA representative; Daun Frankland, cemetery owner; Brooke Alexander, Co-Chair, Tree Canopy Campaign: and volunteer installers Nancy Hopper and Mike Brown.
