A sad time for you, Mark, but your plants will hopefully help you to recall happier times with your Mum and your friend. I have a lot of plants in my garden given by lovely friends who are no longer with me but they continue to give me so much pleasure.

Hi Mark ...
That's a wonderful idea to dedicate the plants to your friend, and the rose for your Mum's grave.

Sorry to hear about your friend and also mum,when I read it, it made me cry,what a lovely kind and thoughtful thing you are about to do.I also have things in the garden given to me by my mum-in-law( no longer with us) and my best friend who now lives in America needless to say I miss them dreadfully but when I see there plants and flowers coming into life again its like they are still with me.
