Hey @Brenda5, I like the idea that the lovelies who are mentioned on the plaques are remembered in a tranquil, beautiful environment when the plaques are read and names sounded. I reckon I'd like to be remembered in a setting with some wild nature that has a bit of spirit to it. Don't exactly know how good it is for the tree's themselves though, but I'm sure National Parks would do something if it was harming the trees. You could always take a beer along and have a sip and toast each lovely mentioned on the plaque and by the time you finish you might not be finding them so annoying - just don't drive afterwards ;) Xx
