They don't keep track of the number of visitors. They have a guest sign in book in an office but many people never go in it and the hours are irregular at best. It isn't a huge number but it could be. I'll be giving many what's blooming tours free to the public on Saturdays throughout the year in Hamilton Square Garden and a few private tours to garden clubs and master gardener groups. The rose garden and native plants are included in some of the private tours. April 9th is our big PR day where all the gardens are staffed for tours and info on how to participate with us. The rose garden propagates their roses to sell to the public that day. They will publish the catologe for that any time now. Last year they had about five hundred for sale. They line up at the gate some years. All this to fund more restoration and beautification within the cemetery. It's a considerable amount too. The roses are propagated at a local community colleges greenhouses. It is all a win win for the community and the city. All done by volunteers. I do go on don't I. The answer is yes and no porkpal. Rolling my eyes.
Hamilton Square Garden, Historic City Cemetery, Sacramento California.
