We are only two weeks away from Flower Mart 2022! We look forward to having you join us on the Cathedral grounds on Friday, May 6th and Saturday, May 7th.

As our global community continues to restore its footing, we celebrate the "haven of peace" that the Cathedral's beautiful and historic gardens and grounds provide to our neighbors and visitors from around the world.

In this year celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of the visionary Frederick Law Olmsted, we recall the Cathedral Close was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., for whom the Woods are named. 

it is fitting, as we are the Stewards to all the gardens and grounds of the 57 acres of the Close, to put our efforts toward continuing reclamation of the Olmsted Woods - five acres of urban forest on the Cathedral Close.
