SAVE THE DATE: Arboretum Day 2022
Date & Time
Details
It is our honor to extend a cordial in-person invitation to our third-annual Arboretum Day, here at Cypress Lawn Arboretum and Botanical Gardens on Nov. 12, 2022.
Celebrating 130 years and 130 species in the living collection of the Arboretum, this special community event in our “Tree City USA” Town of Colma will showcase the diverse trees of the Memorial Park, honor our champion Monterey Cypress by the foundational entry archway, and continue our living legacy with the planting of companion trees for old heritage specimens along Cypress Avenue of our original East Campus.
Arboretum Day was established in 2020 with the planting of a memorial tree in honor of the many lives lost to the pandemic and will continue as an annual tradition of tree planting and the celebration of life here at our beloved Memorial Park.
You may learn more about the origin story and the meaning of Arboretum Day by watching this video, showcasing our community event from just a year ago.

- 10:30 a.m. — Welcome and introductions at the entry archway.
