Spring Time clean up of the grounds continues! This will include but is not limited to weed maintenance, trees being trimmed in areas where there is low head clearance, installation of a new garden in section A, existing garden prep, filling in of any holes in and around the grounds and reseeding the grass where is has gone patchy. This will be a lengthy cleaning precess that will extend till after Easter, when the generalized warm weather ground maintenance starts up again.

A general reminder to please remove anything that you wish to keep that is holiday related, and if you are bringing a dog on the grounds to please clean up after them or if you see people walking their dogs please remind them to be considerate of others and to please pick up any dog waste.

If you are interested in having a headstone garden installed this year by the cemetery on your behalf please contact us at 610-566-4279 (call or text) or email at manager@eastlawn.org and I will send you a list of deer resistant perennials and self reseeding annuals and price list.
