As the season winds down and we prepare to welcome the crisp, cool days of autumn, the beautiful grounds of Beechwood Cemetery remain open to visitors who may be looking for a bit of mental respite after what has been an unsettling spring and summer.
For people practising safe physical distancing, Ottawa’s 147-year-old Beechwood Cemetery offers a calming environment that is as rich in biodiversity as it is steeped in history. Whether the appeal is the manicured gardens, the lovely treed pathways among the headstones or a vibrant urban marsh that is home to a healthy population of wild plants and small critters, there is something here for everyone.
