“Our blessed Saviour chose the Garden for his 
Oratory, and dying, for the place of his Sepulchre ; 
and we do avouch for many weighty causes, that 
there are none more fit to bury our dead in than in 
our Gardens and Groves, where our Beds may be 
decked with verdant and fragrant flowers, Trees and 
Perennial Plants, the most natural and instructive 
Hieroglyphics of our expected Resurrection and Im- 
mortality 
— John Evelyn.
