Garden Burial
Assuming that you had permission to bury Granny (or wherever) in the
Garden, and that the foxes didn't dig her up again. What plant would you plant over them to use all that great plant food that will be available for the next 10 years or so Or what would you want planted over you of it was your grave? David Hill Abacus Nurseries? |

"Dave Hill" asked: ....what would you want planted over you if it was your grave? Two or three mature Dracunculus vulgaris would do nicely. MikeCT |

I wouldn't mind being tickled by the roots of a magnificent Cercidiphyllum japonicum ) |

I think mushrooms or toadstools would grow naturally from my Mother-In-Law's grave, but they would probably be poisonous if they were intended for me. |

If I had the space I'd go for a Lebanon Cedar or giant red wood, but with less space here I'd want a mountain ash as it would take our weather, gales and all. I do have 2 cats planted by my Corkscrew Hazel which is now over 30 years old and has been moved 4 times in its life, but there is no way it would move now. David Hill Abacus Nurseries. |
