Tending graves - Szabolcs Megyeri

The decoration of graves with plants and flowers is one of the most beautiful ways to cherish the memory of the deceased. It's an honourable thing to regularly care for the grave of a deceased relative and to plant plants on it. But cemeteries are not just a place of remembrance, they are also a vast green space.
