IMPROVING ST BARTHOLOMEWS CHURCHYARD, CAN YOU HELP? Written for the congregation in July 1999 when I was clearing its weeds and brambles as the volunteer. I mulched round the shrubs/trees with the shredded prunings and mown weeds.
The following plants are all rabbit-resistant, suitable for clay soils and for flower arranging. The areas under the yew trees have been used by the gravediggers for the excess soil. The intention is to plant around these trees to make the churchyard more attractive and to provide the church flower arrangers with foliage and flowers throughout the year. |

Do remember that if you live in a conservation area in the UK and your tree exceeds 100mm diameter at 1 metre above ground level, then before you prune off a leaf you need to get permission from your local authority otherwise they can take you to a magistrates court and impose a £2500 fine - see introduction page.
