Gardening-related maintenance of a Victorian cemetery and wildlife haven.

The Friends of Hitchin Cemetery help maintain the oldest part of the cemetery according to the council's five year Green space Action Plan and supported by the Countryside Management service who provide training, equipment, guidance and third party insurance. Activities are usually gardening-based covering weeding, pruning and hedge cutting, looking after wildlife areas and helping the public find graves. There are opportunities to help with historical research and with guided tours in the summer months.

The Friends Group meets every Friday at 10:00 by the chapel in the cemetery on St.John's Road, Hitchin. To find the location, you can get directions to this location on Google Maps.
