Floral Tributes Birkhill Cemetery

During times of hard frost or snow cover there may be a possibility of some floral tributes being eaten by the Rabbits and the Roe Deer, this is due to the animals finding it difficult to source food in the surrounding areas. To alleviate this problem we would recommend that cellophane wrappings be kept on the tributes, or checking the attached list of plants that the Rabbits and Roe Deer may not eat, a list is also available on the cemetery notice board and in the cemetery waiting room.

Nepeta (catmint), Helichrysum (curry plant), Symphytum (comfrey), Bergenia, Fuchsia, Heather, Yucca, Brunnera, Tradescantia, Hardy Geranium, Digitalis, Aquilegia, Echinops, Zantedeschia, Geum, Alchemilia, Hosta, Crocosmia, Astilbe, Stachys, Narcissus, Rudbeckia, Anemone, Vinca, Thalictrum, Aconitum, Aster.
