Bulldozed Gardens

I have just heard from a friend that the garden at the rectory will be bulldozed for more parking. A cedar of lebanon will be among the arborcultural casualties as well as a magnolia and a japanese maple. I remember when Jon and I planted the cedar of lebanon and sometimes I wish that cars and technology were not so dominant as they are. I wish that we accorded green and growing things the sense of the sacred that we attribute to statuary that must be carefully moved. For aren't green and growing things grown by the Great Gardener after all?
