WoodlandsTrees and shrubs played an integral part in the design of
cemeteries such the General Cemetery.
In his book On the laying out of Cemeteries, published in
1840, J C Loudon wrote:
"By scattering trees and shrubs singly, graves
may be everywhere formed among them; and, by placing trees
continuously along roads and walks, shade is afforded to
those who are on them, and a foreground is established to
the scenery beyond." |
