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?

....what would you want planted over you if it was your grave?

Two or three mature Dracunculus vulgaris would do nicely.

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

A copper beech, I think. I'll probably thing of 6 other things in a few
minutes! ;-)

Mandrake. (Mandragora officinarum).
That should put them off moving me :-)

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.

Apple trees.

Orchards are immune to compulsory purchase for road schemes, as far as
I recall.

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.
