Tabachnik National Garden is a National Park located in the southern downs of Mount Scopus in Jerusalem, next to the Hebrew University. The garden preserves some Jewish burial caves from the Second Temple period and two small modern cemeteries, the Jerusalem American Colony Cemetery and the Bentwich Cemetery. Two lookouts are also located within the park, an eastward one facing the Dead Sea and the Judean Desert, and a westward one towards the Temple Mount.

The main cemetery of the American Colony is located here. Another cemetery of the Colony is situated on Mount Zion.

A small cemetery beside the American Colony Cemetery is dedicated to Herbert Bentwich and his family.
