Treat your Mom or Grandma to a unique Mother's Day outing this year. The Civil War era Rapids Cemetery is holding it's first Garlic Frolic this Sunday, May 14, from 1-3:00 pm

The thing is, there is a massive colony of a couple of types of wild garlic growing on part of the cemetery grounds (not where any graves are located). It all needs to be removed so flowers and lawn can be planted, and we have two choices. The first is to pay someone to dig it up and haul it away. The second is for garlic lovers to come and dig it up, take it home, and eat it.

If you're one of the latter, get some shovels and bags and come on down. The cemetery is at 90 Congress Avenue, close to the Plymouth Avenue end of the street. (See the red dot on the map). If you have any perennials from your own garden that you'd like to share, bring them along; Bleeding Hearts and Forget-Me-Nots are especially appreciated because Civil War Veterans are interred there.
