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.
