SPONSORED BY ALL HALLOWS GUILD 

TO BENEFIT THE CATHEDRAL’S

Welcome All! 

This May, Flower Mart makes history: it honors South Africa, a vibrant, culturally rich country which 

has many strong bonds with our Cathedral, and it celebrates the Cathedral’s centennial. 

Our centennial celebration recognizes the rich heritage of Cathedral visionaries and builders who created 

this awe-inspiring church that graces our city’s skyline, and it launches a new century of service to our 

city, our nation and our world, building bridges of interfaith understanding, reconciliation, and hope. 

I congratulate All Hallows Guild for their decades of stewardship of our gardens and for the hospitality 

they offer in these joyous two days. 

We invite you to celebrate the Cathedral’s Century of Building and A New Century of Service, to learn 

more about our mission, to return often, either in person or online, and to experience our many programs 

and activities. 

Join us! Celebrate with us!

All Hallows Guild 

Washington National Cathedral 

All Hallows Guild was formed in 1916 by Florence Brown Bratenahl, wife of the Dean of the Cathedral, to provide for "the 

care and beautification of the cathedral close." The Guild's name hallows the land on which the cathedral was built, the life of 

Bishop Satterlee, and gifts in memory of loved ones. In the intervening years volunteers have worked with the Horticulture and 

Grounds staff as caretakers and stewards of these 59 acres. Funds derived from memberships, memorials, the Flower Mart, the 

Herb Cottage, and Tour and Tea Programs enable the Guild to carry on Frederic Law Olmsted Jr.'s remarkable vision of a 

haven of peace and refreshment in the midst of the Capital City. 


Marking its sixty-ninth anniversary at Washington National Cathedral, Flower Mart 2008 salutes the Republic of South Africa 

and The Cathedral’s Centennial. Now hailed as Washington’s premiere spring event, the popular Flower Mart began modestlyand 

with great hope-when All Hallows Guild created a festive marketplace on the soaring Pilgrim Steps on the South side of the 

Cathedral in 1939. 

That day hundreds of people thronged the steps, now dotted with canvas-covered booths, each overflowing with plants, herbs 

and flowers. Every year since, there have been new and additional attractions. In 1954 the Flower Mart began the now 

traditional annual salute to another country adding the flavor of a different culture to all activities. Ambassadors, First Ladies, 

Senator’s wives, theater luminaries and other notables have sparked the festival with their presence. 

Today, an abundance of flowers and plants in boxes, pots, and hanging baskets are available. A century-old carousel twirls 

gleeful children each day. There is an organ grinder, numerous vendors for foods and boutique items, a Puppet Show, dancers 

& musicians and an extraordinary exhibit of “Flowers Around the World” within the Cathedral. A triumphant Opening 

Ceremony now starts festivities on the West Front steps as music, song and introductions welcome the public to the 

Cathedral’s spring family festival—the beloved and legendary Flower Mart, truly Washington’s premiere spring event.
