Woodland Burial Site
For all those kind people who gave me advice on my mum's woodland burial site ..... I went down there today with a really good friend (who cared very much for my mum).
We lifted off the rough grass and put 3 bags of topsoil down. Then we planted woodland flowers - acquilegia, primroses, saxifrage, pulmonaria, wood anemones, Sempervivum (Live Forever Plant) muscari, blue geranium. These are all things which will spread out and in a month or two should look lovely. We relaid the old grass around to make it look really natural.
It looks lovely. If this doesn't work (with the topsoil) then I will just leave it to return to meadowland.
Anyway .... thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
Kind regards
Linda
