A Memorial Tree Gets Vandalized in Liverpool

The Liverpool Echo reported last week (the link has disappeared) that an English oak, located in the peace garden of St. George's Hall (planted by some school children as a memorial to Harrison just six days after his death in November 2001) has recently been stripped of its bark by vandals and may die. It is "one of a number of trees" in this garden to suffer this fate, so it is likely the vandals may not have known of the symbolic value of this memorial tree which they attacked. Nevertheless, it would be a poignant loss considering Harrison's passion for gardens and trees.

And, while on the subject of trees, it is our opinion that George would probably think a book being published this week is a waste of them.




Probably you are going to read it anyway but, if you use the link from here, at least a percentage of your purchase will go to support the George Harrison Memorial Garden. Perhaps you'll even be inspired to plant your own tree in memory of George.
