    I love visiting this cemetery. My grandmother, great grandmother & grandfather, great aunts & uncles and etc. are buried in this cemetery. We are all Native American. My husband and I go there once a year to put flowers on all of my relatives graves. We live 2 hours away. I can never get enough of this cemetery. So much history. I highly recommend people to visit this cemetery. If visiting, plan on spending a couple of hours. So glad that Paula and Eddie did a video there.🌹♥️

    Thank you for showing us around Savannah. I enjoy these videos. This is a gorgeous cemetery! I enjoy watching you, Mrs Paula, because your sense of humor and way of talking reminds me so much of my late Granny. It's like getting to visit her when I watch your videos, especially ones like these where you casually show us around Savannah. Thank you❤️

    Midnight in the Garden is one of my favorite movies. I love to see that the cemetery is so taken care of...so many are forgotten and left to ruin. The azaleas are lovely. Thank you for the tour.

    Love this one Paula & Eddie! You need to do more videos like this. 👍☺I always love your cooking, but my favorite videos of yours is when you show your garden/home, your fur babies and chickens, tours around town, etc. Wish you could take us out on the water sometime!! 🌴🚤

    My family went on vacation in Savannah in 2009 for my uncle's 50th birthday. On the last evening there, we went to Bonaventure cemetery but it was closed for the night 😢 we saw so much of the rest of Savannah (and of course, we ate at your restaurant 😊) and it remains one of my favorite cities! I'd love to go back 💜

    Paula and Eddie, that Cemetery is Gorgeous! I like to go to different cemeteries to see all the dufferent headstones. Where i am from in a small town there is a creek that runs thru from two different lakes and smack dab in the cemetery us a huge bald eagles nest so magnificent to watch bald eagles around there. They live there and can fish for food. Just so fun to watch and visit family and family friends who have passed😥😭

    My husband and I were married in Savannah in 2007 because of my obsession with you, Paula. We go back and visit frequently and we have been to this cemetery several times. We have never visited in the spring, though. We came to Savannah in July and it was hotter than hades, so now we go in the fall. We will have to plan a spring trio to see the Azaleas.

    I finally made it to Bonaventure Cemetery almost two years ago after coming to Savannah for 38 years. I loved it! It is so beautiful and I loved the story of Gracie. And I’ve never been to Savannah in the spring! I need to put that on my list!

  • @sandrabrown2132
    @sandrabrown2132 9 місяців тому +1

    I e been to Savannah and Bonaventure 7 times. My most favorite City in the world I have visited in all seasons. The best time to visit in my opinion is October or early March when the azaleas are in full bloom. The summer months are horrible for the heat and the humidity. But Savannah is beautiful. Bonaventure is beautiful and if you want to know the stories about some of the people laid to rest there you need to get a guide. It makes Bonaventure more special. The guide I love is Shannon Scott. He knows the stories of the lives and deaths of those that reside there.

    Was there a couple of weeks ago. Wandered all through that gorgeous cemetery. Such reverence and peace. Had lunch at The Lady and Sons, would never miss that chance. Missed Paula by one day. Was so upset, she had a book signing on the day we left. I live in FL and love Savannah.

    My husband and I love Savannah! Bonaventure is such a unique cemetery. We visited it about 26 years ago. Sad that they had to move the bird girl statue. The book by John Berendt put Savannah on my radar. It’s a good book that was made into a movie.

    I have collected epitaphs from Victorian tombstones for over thirty years. My travels have taken me from the east to west coast with everything between. I have several journals full of the the most moving, poetic,heartfelt, tear jerking writings. I have to say Bonaventure Cemetery (Savannah) and Magnolia Cemetery ( in Charleston, S.C.) are two of my favorites.

  • @lornahardin4563

    This is a very nice video Paula. I learned much from this; Johnny Mercer. I knew every song but nothing about the composer. Love the movie Garden also. What a beautiful cemetery. Thank you for sharing the history. I’ve never been to Savannah but I think I need to take a trip there. I am not far away and could actually drive there.

    They just don't make beautiful headstones like this anymore. What a gorgeous cemetery. Can't believe that, as a fellow Georgian, I've never been there. Thank you for the tour. Paula, if I may make a suggestion, when you ask someone a question, please allow them to finish their answer before interrupting. I know it's a habit but saying uh huh while someone is speaking is not a good thing. Listening is a lost art.

    A few years back a friend recommended that I read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Ever since then Bonaventure Cemetery has been on my list of places to go. I have been by Savannah a couple of times on the way to Florida, but it never worked out for me to make it over that way. It is still on my list and hopefully can make it down that way within the next year. I don't want to be there in the summer heat, so I am looking toward the first part of December. Thank you for taking us along Paula. This was a great video!

    The Girl Scouts go to Laurel Grove Cemetery in Savannah. If you haven't been to that cemetery, Paula, you should go!! It's not as well-kept as Bonaventure but is gorgeous, in a haunting way, as well. Juliet Low died of breast cancer and was buried in her girl scout uniform! I don't live in Savannah but have been to Bonaventure hundreds of times.
