Good news team. I've been selected to be a Grave Gardener at the Woodlands Cemetery. We carry on the 19c practice of honoring the dead by growing little gardens in these cradle graves 'of the French style.' I will do my best by little Mary Gebhard, interred June 11, 1857 at age 9 pic.twitter.com/VmEW0VoWo4

We are meant to grow period appropriate beauties so if you need me I'll be reading about the language of Victorian grave flowers and their occult properties at the library. Incidentally does anyone know what this fern thing is?? pic.twitter.com/h99V99QX4D

If, like me, you run in the Woodlands, Mary is in section L - 140 just off the outer dirt path behind the mansion in the back. Come say hi and see what we are growing. pic.twitter.com/kMuyr8AbFQ
