"We have plants from around the world, some actually pre-dating the founding of the cemetery," Dennis Collins, the cemetery's horticultural curator, told WBZ-TV.
You'll find thousands of plants and trees across the site's 175 acres.
Collins said 250,000 visitors come to the cemetery each year, from school groups to garden clubs, plant societies and bird watchers.
