Friends of Hartwood Paupers Cemetery

The Friends of Hartwood Paupers Cemetery is a volunteer group committed to honouring those buried in the historic cemetery while revitalising the space for the community. They maintain the grounds, install grave markers, and hold remembrance events to preserve the dignity of those interred. In addition to historical preservation, the group has created a vibrant community garden on the site, complete with bee hives that support local pollination and education efforts. This unique blend of remembrance and renewal transforms the cemetery into a peaceful, living memorial that engages the community and celebrates both history and sustainability.
