Spring is here, and so are the blooms across Arlington National Cemetery’s 639 acres.
The cemetery just released a video showcasing its grounds in full spring splendor: flowering trees, rolling green hills and quiet moments among the headstones.
The two-minute reel, as in years past, offers a peaceful look — complete with relaxation-inducing music — at the seasonal transformation underway across the Level III Accredited Memorial Arboretum.
The cemetery is inviting the public to experience the blooms in person with a series of free Spring Horticulture Tours led by its horticulture team. The guided walks cover the arboretum’s extensive plant collection and the practices used to maintain the grounds.
