Purely as a hypothetical exercise, what little memento would

Awwwwwww. Ooop north, about a hundred years ago, somebody planted a
whole wood in a heart shape on the side of a fell, it's called the
sweetheart wood.

Big £pound signs in yellow crocuses, with purple daisies dotted
around, would look nice in
Alan Titchmarsh's lawn.

A lady had it planted in memory of her husband who was killed in WW1.

The good burghers of Rainhill (a sort of buffer zone twixt
Liverpool and St. Helens) have spelled out the name of their fair
village using daffodils planted on the embankment of the M62.
I did a two-fingered salute in pansies, violas and primroses
when the 'orrible neighbours used to live across the lane. :~)

Wow - I lived just up the valley from there as a child, knew what
the wood was called but never realised why. There was another nearly
wood surrounding a field which used to covered in bluebells in spring,
Thanks

Outside Farnham Art College, sorry, Surrey Institute of Art and Design,
University College, one of the graduates has "installed" a piece of
"conceptual" "art". A big spiral of daffs, a bit like a bass clef without
the top bit and line running back through it, if that makes any sense.
There's even a little information plaque thing inside the entrance telling
you all about it, what it represents, etc, etc. I did read it, but I can't
remember any details now, apart from in the "Medium" section, where, say,
for a painting, it would say "oil on canvas" or some such, it just says
"Narcissus". Nice long flowering one though.
Hmm, what would I do? Bluebells in the shape of a bell? In the garden of
my old local (no, not the red lion) obviously. "Remember me?" in forget-
me-nots? Oh, I don't know, just to design something of permenance like a
woodland, would be fantastic, that says enough without spelling a word or
anything. Though the temptation to spell "Ian" with some trees would be
great.
Adios Amigos!

Has anyone else visited the Tree Cathedral in Hertfordshire (iirc)
? It's a lovely place.

There was a nice bit in "Greenprints" (shameless plug: nice little U.S.
mag about gardeners rather than gardens) about a fellow who was dying of
cancer planting, with help, the word "Spring" in crocus bulbs, which he did
not see, but family did.

And if you want a quick result a suitable word in cress seed on the
lawn is quite effective. B-)

I was told that if you 'write' words in grass using a man made liquid they
will show up very well.

Is that man made purely for ease of application?
Canine made definately didn't think man made was quite so strong.

dead vegetation. Man (or woman) made adds a lot of nitrogen so will
speed up growth in that area, but it would be easier for a man to create
a pattern.

The good news is we've identified the perpetrator through DNA analysis...
it's your next door neighbor.
The bad news is that it's your wife's handwriting!
I won't admit to trying this in the snow, but it's not easy, and takes a
lot of ale.
We now return you to the flat of "Brandywine" tomatoes, just sprouting in
their flat...
