I have had some requests for more information on the Canadian Gardening article that mentioned the selling of tombstones. The article was in the September 2004 issue and the article was titled "The Prince of Serendip" and was written by Lyn Tremblay. It highlights the garden of John Walker in the southwestern Ontario town of Simcoe. "Embedded inthe gravel, waving ornamental grasses - such as amur silvergrass (Miscanthus floridulus) and maiden grass (M. sinensis 'Gracillimus') - and clumps of Siberian iris contrast with old chimney blocks and an early pioneer grave marker. "The tombstone was purchased from the caretaker of an old graveyard,"John says. "When a coffin collapses and the stone above tilts, it becomes a hazard. It can be sold if a family member can't be found to finance a restoration." Tommorrow I plan on emailing Canadian Gardening magazine to inquire about this article. I don't know if they would know the name of the cemetery or the caretaker, but I am going to see what I can find out. In case anyone is interested, the magazine may be reached at: letters@canadiangardening.com Mary
