The rural cemetery movement of the 1830s coincided with the popularity of romanticized horticulture based on English landscape design which presented an idealized view of nature. These new “cemetery parks” usually included rolling lawns, a lake or pond, groves of trees, and recreations of picturesque architecture.
One of the country’s first rural or garden cemeteries, Swan Point’s grounds were landscaped in such a manner as to give the appearance of a park. The dense growth of trees and underbrush natural to the hills and ravines along the Seekonk River was augmented by careful planting. In the early years, hundreds of trees and shrubs were carefully planted annually and supplemented with thousands of hardy bulbs. Native plants were stressed as well as exotic ornamental varieties and hybrids. Collections of rhododendrons, azaleas and hollies were particularly emphasized. Today, over 3,500 trees, flowering shrubs and plants lavishly adorn the cemetery grounds and bring beauty to the landscape during every season.
Varieties of trees and shrubs found on our grounds include:
