Tennessee's Newest Arboretum At Grace Episcopal Church To Be Dedicated Sunday

  • Tuesday, January 18, 2022

The blessing and opening of GreenGrace Arboretum, Tennessee's newest certified arboretum, will be held on Sunday at 2 p.m. It is at Grace Episcopal Church, 20 Belvoir Ave. An outdoor reception will follow.

This invitation is offered on behalf of Reverend April Berends of Grace Episcopal Church and the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee, The Right Reverend Brian Cole.
