This is for me!

If mighty oaks can grow from a little acorn, imagine what could grow from a nut like me!

Re: This is for me!

Strangely i suggested something like this to my Local wildlife trust many years ago, i called it Plant a Tree in Me. To create a reserve around deliberately planted trees as a place of quiet contemplation and communing with nature. It was received well by the trust.

I would like to think my remains could be used for something other than landfill.

Re: This is for me!

I think it's a lovely idea and would mean I'd take up little space and help the environment. Quite fancy a silver birch, slim and beautiful (unlike now) or a holly bush or spruce so people could use it at Xmas.
