Poppies
‘In Flanders Fields the poppies blow… Between the crosses, row on row’
When Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae penned these haunting words in the spring of 1915 he could never have anticipated what a powerful and inspiring symbol the red flowers he wrote of would become. The red poppy is now a symbol of both Remembrance and hope, and can add striking swathes of colour to your garden.
The plant you choose doesn’t have to be named specifically as a memorial plant, it could simply be a favourite of the person you wish to remember. There are a myriad of beautiful plants and flowers to choose from. Choose something that will bring you joy and help you heal as the days go by.
