Entrance Construction
ASA GRAY GARDEN
In collaboration with the award-winning landscape
architecture firm Halvorson Design Partnership,
Mount Auburn has re-imagined Asa Gray Garden,
its most significant public space, to embody the
Cemetery’s best qualities: a landscape of exquisite
beauty comforting the bereaved and inspiring all
who visit. Within the renovated Garden, visitors
will enjoy a diverse selection of over 175 varieties
of plants that provide year-round color, texture,
and interest. Strategically placed seating and a
new central water feature will foster a sense of
contemplation for those in need of a place to
reflect. An improved circulation system through and
surrounding the Garden will provide greater access
and encourage more visitors to explore its many
special features.
